Austin played four games on Saturday...winning the first one of the Osceola tournament and losing the next 2...then they played league later in the day in Ankeny where they won easily...The important thing is they are improving.


Coffee Cups
A group of alumni, all highly established in their respective
careers, got together for a visit with their old university professor. The conversation soon turned to complaints about the endless stress of work and life in general.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went into the kitchen and soon returned with a large pot of coffee and an eclectic assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal - some plain, some expensive, some quite exquisite.

Quietly he told them to help themselves to some fresh coffee.

When each of his former students had a cup of coffee in hand, the old professor quietly cleared his throat and began to patiently address the small gathering. ''You may have noticed that all of the nicer looking cups were taken up first, leaving behind the plainer and cheaper ones. While it is only natural for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is actually the source of much of your stress-related problems.'

He continued...''Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In fact, the cup merely disguises or dresses up what we drink. What each of you really wanted was coffee, not a cup, but you instinctively went for the best cups. Then you began eying each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is coffee. Jobs, money, and position in society are merely cups. They are just tools to shape and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not truly define nor change the quality of the Life we live. Often, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has provided us...
God brews the coffee, but he does not supply the cups. Enjoy your
coffee!''

Some of the happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have!
I was married to one of these that didn't get it.....

Deep Thought of the Day: Too bad you can't buy a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin real fast and freak everybody out.

The Roads were 100% Snow and Ice covered driving back to work this morning till Hwy 5 east of Hartford....and then there was no snow!

Deep Thought of the Day: It makes me mad when I go to all the trouble of having Marta cook up about a hundred drumsticks, then the guy at Marineland says, "You can't throw that chicken to the dolphins. They eat fish."
Sure they eat fish, if that's all you give them! Man, wise up.

Weekend at Bernie's situation where 2 old guys in NY wheeled their dead friend & tried to cash his $355 Social Security check.

So damn hot in here…..Is that suppose to make us more productive??
Sedi and I went skating last night...the best workout so far I've had skating....there was anywhere betwen 5-20 skating...giving me plenty of room to actually work on my skating ability...long ways to go before this summer's hockey league.

FYI: DO NOT WEAR a dress shirt under a sweatshirt...otherwise you will be picking lint off forever....

NO SLEEP…and not for the right reasons…..dragging ….is this day over?

Schooled Sedi the first game of Shuffleboard down at Zimm’s…then he brought his game back and that was the end…..Then he took on Amy and wasn't very nice with her...as he continued to show who is the big deal in Shuffleboard.

Blacken Jamaican Jerk Chicken Salad is SASSY…down at Buzzard Billy’s.

Can't wait to see the blog Jona's doing for school.

Tata Motors rolls out $2,500 car

Deep Thought of the Day: Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion.
For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

Why does it feel like Saturday ...because of the holidays gone bye?

This was actually in the Des Moines Register ...totally something my mom would do, except I probably would have been killed.


My grandfather turns 85 on on Saturday...amazing how he doesn't need glasses, he drinks straight from the bottle.
Pool League starts in two weeks...

Ron White next Saturday...
Maybe some skating tonight.....

Deep Thought of the Day: When the chairman introduced the guest speaker as a former illegal alien, I got up from my chair and yelled, "What's the matter, no jobs on Mars?" When no one laughed, I was real embarrassed. I don't think people should make you feel that way.

Elvis Aaron Presley is celebrating a birthday today... thanks to Terrance for keeping me informed!

This is sweet... building a Beer Brewing Bender ...you know the one from Futurama...that we don't watch...
