“Life is all about timing... the
unreachable - Stacey Charter |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
My #5 son,
Nathaniel
(Harty - Hillsboro HS,
IL - '97 - of IL),
has about 496 bazillion songs (give or take) on his computer play list which is
somehow connected to the television, so whenever we gather downstairs to play
games, he turns it on to provide background music. Whenever I hear
something which catches my fancy, I make note of it. This is another one of those
songs - which is highly appropriate for us today, as everything is about to
change drastically as we prepare to switch servers.
Thanks, Nathaniel!

Speaking of Nathaniel.....
REMINDER:
From
Me
('65) of IL - 02/24/10 - "Site Server Switching Soon":
He and I will finally be switching servers in
the next day or so (hopefully tonight!) as our present server agreement
will expire on the 26th. There will almost assuredly be some down time
during this period. We hope it will be as painless as possible for all
concerned, and that we're up and running again shortly.

THIS DAY IN WWII:

From Cheryl Mays Howard ('66) of VA - 02/24/10 - "God in
us":
“Never allow anyone to rain on
your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire
day. Remember that
no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to
set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external
can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too
precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating
the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile
life carefully. Only God can shape a flower,
but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.”

It was as if God had sent it at the right time to our daughter, Miriam.
Thank you so much for
letting me know, Cheryl!

Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too.
Don't laugh.....it is all true...these are the perks of reaching 60 and heading towards 70 and older!

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes - 02/24/10:
Prize winner
A blonde goes into a restaurant and notices there's a
"peel and win" sticker on her coffee cup. So she peels it off and
starts screaming, "I've won a motorhome! I've won a motorhome!"
The waitress says, "That's impossible. The biggest prize is a free
lunch."
But the blonde keeps on screaming, "I've won a motorhome! I've won a
motorhome!"
Finally, the manager comes over and says, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but
you're mistaken. You couldn't have possibly won a motorhome because
we didn't have that as a prize!"
The blonde says, "No, it's not a mistake. I've won a motorhome!" And
she hands the ticket to the manager and HE reads .
"W I N A B A G E L"
