red letter date

 i went performing in the evening and i realized it was a red-letter date for me. some notable anniversaries were happening. things like graduation, then leaving my native state a few years later. other stories told were about the weekend in Iowa to visit family, singing at a karaoke bar, and the bank. at work, there was notable things as well. a pull and shred request on the fraud file arrived, but had to tell them it was late, unable to help them. there were tax checks to be set aside. the mailroom sent me a blue company envelope; another refund check was inside.
