Thursday

The day has been quite full.

Walter and I were talking today about some of the dumb things that were going on in the news. I told him that they were dumb as bricks, but he did chime in to say that even though they are dumb they are "constructive". It was the big laugh of the evening.

Sean called around 9:45 p.m. they had been out checking out the constellations when they saw a shooting star. A really cool sight any time.

I just was going over the calendar for May and it is going to be hopping!

Thought For the Day: “An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation.” — John Marshall

One Hard Question
There was a student who wanted to be admitted to the University.

He was smart enough to get through the written test, a GED, and was to appear for the personal interview. Later, as the interview progressed, the interviewer found this boy to be bright since he could answer all the questions correctly. The interviewer got impatient and decided to corner the boy.

"Tell me your choice," said he to the boy, "What's your choice: I shall either ask you ten easy questions or ONE real difficult. Think well before you make up your mind."

The boy thought for a while and said, "My choice is ONE real difficult question."

"Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the man on the opposite side. Tell me: What comes first, Day or Night?"

The boy was jolted first but he waited for a while and said: "It's the DAY, sir."

"How???????" the interviewer shot back, smiling. ("At last, I got you!" he said to himself.)

"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"

The student was admitted to the University.
