Diane...I, with everyone else, hope that Larry can put on some real clothes and come home.  Janene and I visited a couple of stores today and we happened to find some good sales and saved a bunch of money.  Earlier this eve. while I was eating, the cap of my last tooth came right off.  Fortunately it didn't hurt and happy it still isn't hurting.  Really bad timing though since this is a three day week-end.


# 12..How to declutter
Every time you arrive home, clear the car of anything that doesn't permanently belong in it.  Keep a tote or basket in the car for this purpose, and draft your passengers to help--nobody leaves the car empty-handed!  Stay vigilant, and it'll become second nature.


My five-year-old grandson was looking through some old photos when he noticed his grandfather in his Marine dress blues.  "What kind of costume is that?"  he asked.  "That's not a costume," his grandfather said.  "Men have died for that uniform."  The boy looked up and said, "So you stole it, then?"


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Ninety percent of the friction of daily life is caused by the wrong tone of voice.
