Odds and Ends

Saying for the day-A clean and neat sock drawer helps to fight addiction.

Well another Friday has rolled around. It is time to clear my desk and fill my blog with Odds and Ends.
First of all last week was one of those really good weeks that I could use a lot more of. In the midst of it all was this beautiful , patient, loving lady. More and more I have come to realize how special she is. Among other things she has put up with all my short comings for all these years. That puts her in the category of Saint . You ask my kids they will tell you. So, since she reads this blog I wanted to start today as I should every day by Saying “ Betty I love you.”

Now lets see what’s on the desk. First off , for those of you who think pastors only work on Sunday Alastair shares a day in the life of a pastor.

For those of you wondering why you can’t make a diet work Quilldancer has some things to think about.

If you have ever wanted to go to London, and who hasn’t, Bazza has some great pictures of the old and new London.

Finally if you look up into the night sky and wonder what your seeing Quasar9 has great explanations. If you can’t understand them that’s okay he also has great pictures which are worth the visit.

@@@@@ News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my garage where the trains still run, boys talk to rocks, and the Liar’s Club is running an internet contest.– Nancy says that some of the people coming in for coffee are not happy about the Liar’s Club Internet contest. They had heard that the internet is a bad place. It is full of crooks and dirty pictures and stuff like that. Pigeon Falls is just a nice , ordinary town, and it doesn’t need that kind of stuff. Why invite them in. Next thing you know they will be stealing our identities . Then what ? What are you people thinking?
Buddy East , the Grand High Faluting Lie Master, for the year has been spending a lot of time explaining that the internet is just like the rest of the world. There are good people and bad people who use it. He thinks they have enough rules to protect Pigeon Falls from the bad ones. He is looking forward to some great dragons stories.
Kathryn Kellog , the college student, says that the town is a gold mine for Finenglish research. The museum has old letters and newspapers that have just wonderful examples. She is also spending time at the nursing home talking to the old timers. Every day you can see her walking down main street with her recorder her big notebook, and her document camera.
The next big tournament game is tonight and the town is ready. This is March madness at its very worst. Everybody is sure they are going down state. This as one of the signs reads “ Is a New Potato Year and the crop is comin in.” Isn’t it surprising how the team name which everybody hated just a couple of months ago is now a thing of pride.
Will the team win? If they lose will the town as a whole become depressed. Is Tommy UK still talking to his rock. Will Tommy TW meet Kathryn? Where is the dragon? And of course Is Tommy UK really the undertaker’s son?
