Enjoy the Day.

A 5K Walk (there will be people running in it - I don't plan to) is on my schedule for the day. Rest and napping soon afterwards.

Stuff I've learned:

1) It's OK to let folks be nice to you. Accept it graciously. My brother and I have an expression we use with each other when one of us wants to repay the other for a favor. When we say, "In the south, we just say thank you," we know there is no repayment expected.

2) There are lots of alternative treatments to cancer out there. Accept them graciously, also.

3) The four way stop and parking space lines still confound many drivers.

4) Good intuition is as important as research.

5) Don't be surprised or overanalyze when old friends and strangers come out of the woodwork unexpectedly. Accept it for the gift that it is.

6) The world loves good jokes. Hits from other countries and continents are higher on days when I publish jokes. Yesterday there were visitors from Ontario, Nova Scotia and London.


Roger, who was 19 years old, was buying an expensive bracelet, to surprise his girlfriend on Valentine's Day, at a very smart jeweller's shop in Hatton Garden, London.

The jeweller inquired, 'Would you like your girlfriend's name engraved on it?'

Roger thought for a moment, grinned, then answered, 'No, instead engrave 'To my one and only love'.'
The jeweller smiled and said, 'Yes, sir; how very romantic of you.'

Roger retorted with a glint in his eye, 'Not exactly romantic, but very practical. This way, if we break up, I can use it again.'
