Thought for Today: "We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone." — Orson Welles (1915-1985).

United Way
-------------------------
A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.
"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um ... no."
The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"
The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.
"or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"

I know what you mean about the crowds and traffic, me too. But unfortunately my wife does not understand because I am the one that does it while she rides along as she says it is not that bad....... Seems easy to her. ::). A big crowd to me is more than 5 people.
I just tell her now if she wants to go find a boyfriend to take her.

I didn't stay up until the very end but I watched Wright hit the base hit with the bases loaded to make it 3-0. I think that was still the 7th. Congrats on taking the lead in the series.

Got the warden good and pissed off first thing this morning so has been a peaceful day of football and cigars for me.
Twice a year the Boy Scout Troop in the neighborhood has a free ( sort of free they gladly accept donations but it is a very good deal) paper shredding event and I took them a major load of papers to shred this morning which I have been needing to get rid of safely. Thus the warden was pissed.
