[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3771601, member: 13337"] That could very well be my friend. But in actuality I was referring to a line from Glory Road by Robert A Heinlein. The main character is an enlisted man in the US Army,,, He refers to the military's "Fairy Godmother Department" quite a bit. "...the Fairy Godmother Department is one elderly female GS-5 clerk usually out on sick leave. Occasionally she wakes up at her desk, puts her knitting down, and stamps some random piece of paperwork as "Approved". Opportunities came my way that at the time seem almost miraculous,,, I'm simply glad that I was able to recognize and utilize them. All I can say for certain is that those lyrics hit my ears at "exactly" the time I needed to hear them,,, I shudder to think what my life would be like now if I had simply driven home that day. Thanks for your good thoughts. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
