      From Phil Hammond ('64) of UT - 04/01/10 - "Spring Snow in Park City Utah":

Just when I had hung up my skis for the winter ( I hate spring skiing) we were hit with over a foot of great light snow! Yesterday was one of my best days on the mountain all year. I even had a few face shots. This is usually what happens when we have a lean year for snow fall. Two weeks before closing we get hammered and have to just watch it melt away. Anyway here are a few more pictures for your pleasure. I had a great time taking them. Phil
WOW! Here outside St. Louis we're enjoying what I've always considered to be one of the prettiest weeks of the year, the first week of April.  Tree are budding, daffodils and tulips are blooming everywhere - and you're still having snow! What a beautiful and blessed country we have! Thanks, Phil!

  From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 04/02/10 - "A Frog Story":

This is an old one....so am I.....maybe you are, too, which means you've probably forgotten it!!!! A Frog Walks Into A Bank  He approaches the teller. He can see from her nametag that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. He says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have  this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty  explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?" The bank manager looks back at her and says... "It's a  knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan, His old man's a Rolling Stone." (You're singing it, aren't you? Yeah, I know you  are....) Never take life too seriously! Come on now, you grinned, I know you did...!!!  Have  a great day.....          Thanks so much, Joyce - this is one of my faves!

  From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 04/02/10 - "The Veterinarian":

The Veterinarian One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the Pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the next week! The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive pink envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.   "Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate," he stated. "Why yes," she replied, "every week my son sends me money and I give some of it to the church." The pastor replied, "That's wonderful. But $1000 is a lot, are you sure you can afford this? How much does he send you?"   The elderly woman answered, "$10,000 a week."   The pastor was amazed. "Your son is very successful; what does he do for a living?"   "He is a veterinarian," she answered.   "That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money," the pastor said. "Where does he practice?"   The woman answered proudly, "In Nevada. He has two cat houses, one in Las Vegas, and one in Reno.'                            WHOO-HOO! Thanks again, Joyce!

FINALLY:

From ArcaMax Jokes - 04/02/10:

St. Peter's Book

A man arrives at the pearly gates, waiting to be admitted. St. Peter is reading through the Big Book to see if the guy's name is written in it. After several minutes, St. Peter closes the book, furrows his brow, and says, "I'm sorry, I don't see your name written in the Book."

"How current is your copy?" he asks.

"I get a download every ten minutes," St. Peter replies, "Why do you ask?"

"I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I was always the stubborn type. It was not until my death was imminent that I cried out to God, so my name probably hasn't arrived to your copy yet."

"I'm glad to hear that," Pete says, "but while we're waiting for the update to come through, can tell me about a really good deed that you did in your life."

The guys thinks for a moment and says, "Hmm, well there was this one time when I was driving down a road and I saw a giant group of biker gang members harassing this poor girl. I slowed down, and sure enough, there they were, about 20 of 'em torturing this poor woman. Infuriated, I got out of my car, grabbed a tire iron out of my trunk, and walked up to the leader of the gang.

"He was a huge guy; 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, with a studded leather jacket and a chain running from his nose to his ears. As I walked up to the leader, the bikers formed a circle around me and told me to get lost or I'd be next. So I ripped the leader's chain out of his face and smashed him over the head with the tire iron.

"Then I turned around and yelled to the rest of them, 'Leave this poor innocent girl alone! You're all a bunch of SICK, deranged animals! Go home before I really teach you a lesson in PAIN!'"

St. Peter, duly impressed, says "Wow! When did this happen?"

"About three minutes ago."
