Saturday Morning Reflection #61

Good morning everyone...
Here it is, another wonderful Saturday morning. I am sending congratulations to all of the Mountainqueer fans on giving away the game to UConn. Go Huskies and God Bless you Bill Stewart.

As everyone knows I am a diehard MARSHALL fan. I hope the HERD looks good today against UTEP. Will the rebuilding process ever be done?

I suppose I should talk about work...It sucks. Enough said.

Trick or Treat night Jackie and I were giving out candy. Suddenly, the porch light went off. I stepped into the house so I could get another bulb. There, beside of the turned off switch, was Alex Cat. He had the most innocent look on his face. Kinda makes you wonder.


Here you go, Ginger...

Sick?

My co-worker was being let go due to a nasty habit she had of not always showing up for work. As an officer in our union, I was preparing to argue on her behalf when she took matters into her own hands and insisted, "But I was really sick this time!"

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #60

Good morning everyone...
It's a lovely fall morning and cold enough that I will actually have to wear pants. Does this mean it is time for me to pack away the shorts? Kind of makes me depressed.

There was a miracle at the house this morning. I was the one to feed the cats and Alex Cat actually ate the first can I opened for him. I didn't have to threaten to kill him or anything......

Jackie and I are planning on a drive to look at the leaves. I hope they are nice and...if they are then there may be some pics posted on facebook by Jackie.

ok...now let me tell you what happened last night at the football game. Jackie and I went to the concession stand to get some hot chocolate. My ex wife was working the concession stand so we went to a different line. When we ordered the man went to get our hot chocolate...suddenly my ex appears with a pre poured cup. He delivered it and I made him take it back. I didn't see it poured and I don't trust her any farther than I can throw her...(all of you that know my ex and are laughing can stop it)...I am pretty sure I will hear something about this.

A Sunday School teacher was trying to explain about saying grace before meals. One of the pupils was the young son of the minister of that church, so she started the discussion by asking him, "Jerry, what does your father say when the family sits down to dinner?"

Jerry answered, "Dad says, 'Go easy on the butter, kids, it's three dollars a pound!'"

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #59

Good morning everyone...

Today is good old Saturday. Yippee! The company and the coffee are both very good this morning. Life is good and it seems that I have been just happy for a long time now. I am thinking that is the way life is supposed to be.

Alex Cat has been acting like a cat. He has actually been sitting on my lap...and allowing me to pet him. I remember when we first got him...he wouldn't allow us to even touch him.

There isn't much fall left. I think the frost will arrive soon and kill off all of the allergens floating around. I look forward to that. Of course with the coming of snow there is also the arrival of Trout Fishing. I am not sure where I am going, but I am going somewhere. I mean in the local area. Not sure that I want to plan another trip to Park City Utah this year. Maybe next year.

A note for everyone...Life is too short to be sad and unhappy. Do what you want to do and enjoy everything. Be open to new experiences and don't get to far away from your center. One day you will look back and it will be over. Don't rush it.

Here you go, Ginger...

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied,

"They will in a minute."

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #58

Good morning everyone...

I hope this wonderful saturday morning finds everyone well. I am officially off work for ONE WHOLE WEEK. YIPPE!!!!

There was an interesting incident this morning. Everyone knows that Jackie calls Alex Cat "the finnicky little bastard." She swears she is going to open 1 can of food and that he will have to eat that. This morning she opened his food (he showed us that he was not going to eat it by covering it up). Jackie called him a few choice names and told him he would have to eat it. All Alex Cat did was look at her and give a very soft pathetic meow. I will have to say that he did, at least, eat the second can.....

In defense of Jackie Alex has gone thru many cans of food this week. He is a little finnicky.

Something new for this saturday morning. Many of you know Kenny G. Let's all welcome him to the 21st century as he has a computer now. I will be sending him a link to the saturday morning reflection so that he will have something to read.

Deer season is rapidly approaching. I am looking forward to some fresh venison. I have an urge for some backstrap Cajun style. Yummy.

Here you go, Ginger...

Today I picked up my mother-in-law at the airport. She's getting a little up there. She's at the age where she doesn't remember things too well. So when I saw her I said, "Thanks for coming. Have a nice flight!"

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #57

Good morning everyone...

WE ARE....
MARSHALL!!!!!


Where did the warm weather go? I am pretty sure that I am not ready for any cold.

This morning's coffee is very good. Normally I like mine hot and black, but today I had Jackie dip her finger in it and sweeten it up for me.

There isn't much going on in my world. All is quiet and I like it just fine. I know that very soon there will be a drive over into the mountains to scope out the leaves as they change colors.

I suppose I will catch the MARSHALL game on the radio. I wonder which team will show up?

Here you go, Ginger...(hurry up and get back to work cause Zach is killing me)...

A young woman wasn't feeling well, and asked one her co-workers to recommend a physician.

"I know a great one in the city, but he is very expensive. Five hundred dollars for the first visit, and one hundred dollars for each one after that."

The woman went to the doctor's office and, trying to save a little money, cheerily announced.

"I'm back!"

Not fooled for a second, the doctor quickly examined her and said, "Very good, just continue the treatment I prescribed on your last visit."

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #56

Good morning everyone...

Once again the cycle of life has turned to..SATURDAY! Everyone knows what that means (this time of year).

WE ARE...
MARSHALL


Even though THE HERD has had a rough start to the season I am still one of the faithful. I hope to see everyone at the game. THE HERD sure does need a win........

The past week has been just like the previous weeks. Days filled with work and some pretty strange questions. I never cease to be amazed by what people think, or even by what they think they deserve. I learn something new almost every day, There are so many Government programs available to just give away money. Especially to so many that have never contributed to society. Simply amazing.

This morning Jackie and I are sitting here with the windows open listening to the birds sing. Occasionally I can hear the washing machine, but everyone understands the mood, right? Alex Cat and Josie Cat are sitting in the window watching this bird sing. I wonder if this bird knows exactly how much these cats are dreaming about his death?

The date for the quick trip to Lake Erie has been set. Just so everyone will know the date is **/**/****. If you really want to know and are planning to not burglarize my home call me and I will tell you. I spoke with the charter people and there are still a few seats left. Gonna be a blast.

Here you go, Ginger...

A husband went to buy a birthday gift for his wife. Some friends had been invited over that night to celebrate her fortieth, and he wanted to get something special. At the store he spotted some cute little music boxes. One blue one was playing "Happy Birthday."

Thinking they were all the same, he chose a red one and had it gift-wrapped. Later, at dinner, he gave it to his wife and asked her to open it...

When she lifted the lid, out came the tune to "The Old Gray Mare, She Ain't What She Used to Be!"

Saturday Morning Reflection #55

Good morning everyone...

It is a coffee morning for sure. The air is crisp and cool. I like it. The past week I believe I met my goals. I strived for normalacy and I achieved it...at least as normal as I can ever be. I know that many of you reading this already had that run thru your minds. I simply said it first.

It is that time of year when I begin to think about a quick run to Lake Erie for Jumbo Perch fishing. I just wanna go. Nothing to far out...just a quick trip. Jackie and I have discussed this some and I think we are gonna give it a whirl. There are several bottles of wine (at The Garden) that will require my attention.

This morning the cats are in the mood to play chase. You can imagine two (2) adult cats running thru the house and trying to touch every piece of furniture as they go.

I am thinking I might have just one more cup of coffee before I start my day. I have several things that need to be done this weekend. None of them are very important. They just gotta be done. They also have to be done before 1900hrs. Everyone knows what happens then....Let's get this party started...

WE ARE...

MARSHALL!!!!!!

GO HERD


Here you go, Ginger...

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl: said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher: asked, " What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl: replied, "Then you ask him".

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills
