Angels in Oakdale

There are angels among us.

OK, let me see if I can get this out straight. I'm shaken right now because of what just happened that I'm gonna tell you about if I would shut up and get to it already.

I went on a 15.1 mile bike ride. Took me one hour, 10 minutes. So I'm buzzed, right? I Shower, clean up, drink a little water and sit down to play my new guitar.

BOOM BOOM BOOOM!!! Knocking at my door scared me. I go to the door, there's some guy there I've never seen before, so of course I open the door (not security minded me).

Guy sticks his hand out and says, "This yours?"

MY WALLET! MY WALLET! THIS GUY HAS MY WALLET!

Story goes on about him seeing some other guy stop at the intersection at Imation and McDonald's on Highway 5 and hop out of his car to pick up what this guy thinks is a purse. This guy, (let's get these guys named, Angel's name is MARK) tells this other guy who Mark judges to be unsavory, that the wallet is HIS (Mark's). That guy (Mr. Unsavory) hands it to him (Mark) and takes off.

Mark looks in the wallet and sees JOE JULIANO, and all his CC's, insurance info, medical info, all the Social Security numbers for me my wife and my son.

Mark knows me through the music business, but mostly through the Mariano family—my wife and all her brothers. 

Ok, maybe my literary expertise is killing the impact of this act of an angel, but I pray that if you lose your wallet with your everything in it, that Mark picks up after you.

God does watch over those who watch him.

Remember the movie Pay it Forward?

I DO, I WILL,

PRAISE HIM AND AND GOD BLESS MARK MONTANARI. 

P.S., really folks, I can't make this stuff up.
