One Quiet Moment

As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.   Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just So You Know .....

Proper Use Of The Modern English Language:

Just keeping you in the loop for proper word choice, always looking out for precision communication.
Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America ,

Kentuckians, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred to as'HILLBILLIES.'

You must now refer to them as

APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS .
And furthermore

HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:

1. She is not 'EASY' - She is

'HORIZONTALLY ACCESSIBLE.'

2. She is not a 'DUMB BLONDE' - She is a

'LIGHT-HAIRED DETOUR OFF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY..'

3. She has not 'BEEN AROUND' - She is a

'PREVIOUSLY-ENJOYED COMPANION.'

4. She does not 'NAG' you - She becomes

'VERBALLY REPETITIVE..'

5. She is not a 'TWO-BIT HOOKER' - She is a

'LOW COST PROVIDER.'
6. She is not an AIRHEAD - She has had a CEREBRAL LIPOSUCTION.

HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT MEN AND BE
POLITICALLY CORRECT:

1.. He does not have a 'BEER GUT' - He has developed a
'LIQUID GRAIN STORAGE FACILITY.'

2.. He is not a 'BAD DANCER' - He is

'OVERLY CAUCASIAN.'

3.. He does not 'GET LOST ALL THE TIME' - He
'INVESTIGATES ALTERNATIVE DESTINATIONS.'

4.. He is not 'BALDING' - He is in
'FOLLICLE REGRESSION.'

5.. He does not act like a 'TOTAL ASS' - He develops a 
severe case of
RECTAL-CRANIAL INVERSION.'

6.. It's not his 'CRACK' you see hanging out of his pants - It's
'TROUSER CLEAVAGE.'

A very large part of my world for the past eleven years has been Sam Schnauzer.  As most of you know, he was injured by another dog late last week. He's not made the improvement we hoped for and I'm not sure what is going to happen. Please hold good thoughts for Sam and I.

I hope all of you will hold good thoughts for Sam. Two days ago, a dog locked in a car parked in front of the complex where we live,  managed to jump into the the front seat and out the partially open window and attack Sam as we were going for our afternoon walk. It took three people, who just happened to be near the building at the timeto pull the dog off Sam and put him back in the car. Sam is doing okay, but is still having some problems.  We have no idea what prompted the attack other than he is a very vicious dog and the owner had been forced to move out of the complex that day because of the dog.  Unfortunately, not soon enough to save Sam from the trauma.

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.
