Wednesday

Another busy day under my belt, with us ramping up for this weekend's conference we are as busy as a one armed paper hanger. There is so much to do and so little time.

I had a wonderful conversation this afternoon with Ms. Danielle. She is beginning to get into the swing of college life and new schedules. They are all doing well.

This evening Walter came down to visit with me for a short while. Nothing special just visiting.

Thought For the Day: We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth and listen to the song of that syren, till she transforms us into beasts... I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. — Patrick Henry

Some Senior Humor

A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.

Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it.

Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?" After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake".

Old Goats

A group of Americans were traveling by tour bus through Holland. As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process of cheese making, explaining that goat's milk was used. She showed the group a hillside where many goats were grazing.

"These" she explained "are the goats put out to pasture when they no longer produce."

She then asked, "What do you do in America with your old goats?"

A spry old gentleman answered, "They send us on bus tours!"
