Corrections

Marlow has only 4 car washes and 3 stop lights not 2. The blog is not a place to bash the great city of Marlow. Do I need to send the "I LOVE MARLOW" button and have you wear it for penance?

Respectfully, Your Father


I received this email from my Dad today. I'm posting it as a correction to my claim that my hometown has 8 car washes. I am also pleased to know that they have added another stop light.
Wonderful things are happening in that part of the world.

The back story...

When I was in college I was trying to decide what to do with my life. Heck, I'm still trying to decide what to do with my life! :) But, at the time I was convinced as long as I didn't go back to my sleepy little hometown I would be a success. Self admittedly, I had a very narrow view of success. Marlow is a wonderful community filled with fun and fabulous people. However, at 22 I did not want to admit that at all!

So, I went on a "anywhere but Marlow" campaign. During that time my family met up in Bricktown to have dinner together. My Dad showed up proudly wearing his "I love Marlow" shirt, "I love Marlow" sunglasses, and "I love Marlow" pin. If I wanted him to buy my dinner (which I did) I would have to wear the gear as my apology to the great town of Marlow.

My Dad also cancelled my subscription to the town's newspaper, The Marlow Review. Rumor has it he STILL pays for my sister to receive that paper! :)
