Ralph is having one of those days. He begins it thinking he will soon go on a luxurious vacation, but things don't always go as we plan them.
But even when his life is falling apart, things in Ralph's world start picking up after a mysterious encounter with his favorite singer from the 1950s who reminds Ralph to just remember The rules.
This is a rather uplifting short story that finds Ralph starting his day brilliantly looking forward to a holiday with his wife before his world is turned upside down and he finds himself on the road listening to songs from the 1950s. As he does so he begins to notice things aren't quite what they should be and he may not been in the time or place he thought...but as things are looking up he rolls with it.
