05/11/16 - NNHS Newsletter - Anticipation

“But if we learn to think of it as anticipation, as learning,
as growing, if we think of the time we spend waiting
for the big things of life as an opportunity instead
of a passing of time, what wonderful horizons open out!”

- Anna Neagle
(20 Oct 1904 - 03 June 1986)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

Today's theme is in honor of all of y'all who are anticipating something exciting in your lives - and I should think that would include us all.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticipation_%28song%29:

"Anticipation" is a song by Carly Simon. It was the most famous track from her 1971 album of the same name, reaching #13 on the U.S. pop charts. The song relates Simon's state of mind as she waits to go on a date with Cat Stevens.^[1].

... The song was notably used in commercials for Heinz Ketchup through the late 1970s into the 1980s.

From My Friend, Daniel, of UT - 05/08/15:

“The Lord has given to the children of men their agency. Men can do good or evil to suit themselves. ... He simply holds us responsible before him and answerable to him for the use of the intelligence and the opportunities that he has given to us here in the flesh.”
- Joseph F. Smith
(13 Nov 1838 - 19 Nov 1918)

Thanks so much, Daniel!

   From George Helliesen ('61) of VA - 05/10/16 - Mensa Convention":

There was a Mensa Convention in San Francisco recently. Mensa, as you probably know, is a national organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher.

Several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local café. When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt. How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand?

Clearly, this was a job for Mensa minds.

The group debated the problem and presented ideas, and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her with their solution.

"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt, and the salt shaker has pepper."

But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted. "Oh, sorry about that." She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them.

There was dead silence at the Mensa table.

Kind of reminds you of Washington, D.C., doesn't it?

     Thanks, George!

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 05/10/15:
For all of you with teenagers or who had teenagers, you may want to know why they really have a lot in common with cats:

1. Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by name.

2. No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, all humane efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot.

3. You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents.

4. Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa for hours on end without moving, barely breathing.

5. Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did.

DATES TO REMEMBER:

Anticipation

Written and recorded by Carly Simon, 1971
(b. 25 June 1945)

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway, yay
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasin' after some finer day

Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me
But I, I rehearsed those lines just late last night
When I was thinkin' about how right tonight might be

Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet and I don't know nature's ways
So I'll try and see into your eyes right now
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days

(These are the good old days)
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days
(These are the good old days)
(These are the good old days)
(These are the good old days)
(These are.....the good old days)
