One Quiet Moment

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

Couple Going to Heaven!


On their way to the church to get married, a young Catholic couple
were involved in a fatal car accident.

Being good Catholics the young couple find themselves sitting outside
the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.
While waiting, they begin to wonder if they could possibly get
married in Heaven?
When St. Peter finally showed up, they asked him. St Peter said 
"I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find
out." and he leaves them sitting at the Gate.

After three months, St Peter finally returns, looking somewhat
bedraggled. "Yes" he informs the couple "you can get married in
Heaven."

"Great!" said the couple "But we were just wondering, what if things
don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"

"You must be joking" says St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slamming
his clipboard on the ground.

"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple."

"OH, COME ON!" St. Peter shouted "It took me three months to find a
priest up here. Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a
lawyer?"

Weekend Reflections!!

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
-- Margaret Mead

Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head.
-- Garrison Keillor

One Quiet Moment

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many—not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
