Congratulations Grandpa.

I mean Dave. Sounds like the IBM job would be just what you are looking for. A Govenment job ain't half bad either. Whomever gets you is going to get more than they bargained for. A quality person with a good attitude, no wonder the IBM lady jumped on you (figuritively speaking of course).

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

Frank!

I call it a happy dance because it usually sends people rolling on the floor laughing...and what makes people happier than laughing, I ask you?

Dear Paula,
A few things quickly came to mind, but laughing is still right up there..........and is the easiest, safest, with usually no ramifacations........

Like the Good book says." A merry heart doith good like a medicine"......

Dave,

Glad to hear the good news! I'm sure something good will come from these possibilities. Hang in there, I'm sure the waiting is the painful part. Hopefully you're a football fan, this is a great time of the year for it to take your mind off of other things.

My misguided Buckeyes take on Marshall's second cousins, Oklahoma State, tonite in San Antone.....the Alamo bowl. Hopefully no more players open their closets for the skeletons to fall out before game time.

Yea, that will be an interesting game. Oklahoma State is better than they think they are, if they will keep in mind that they have played good teams really well and they stay motivated, it could be a good game.

Oh, it definately will be a game.....Ok State is the favorite by 3 1/2 and they gave Oklahoma everything that they cared to see earlier this season.

Our QB that squashed Michigans defense is still home in Ohio, due to a booster lining his pockets! I'm afraid our athletic director now has the NCAA on speed dial!

After the Clarrett thing , you'd think these kids would get a clue!

"Student athletes".......well they're half right!!

Oh heck, I didn't know they were favored, I don't follow them quite as closely as I do the Sooners.Ok. State has a tradition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. However, they have done well against teams outside of the Big 12 over the years. It'll be fun to watch tonight, especially since here in an hour or so i'll be getting done with my work until next year.
