Liz and Dan,
Congrats to Ryan on getting his certification, and again thanks for hosting Mary.
.....
Any photos of Ryan ?
Pete

 

Here are the pics of Ryan during his testing at the house burn to earn his fireman certification. 

He, along with the other 4 trainees had to go into a 140 degree atmosphere and actually had their visors warp with the intense heat. 

 He stayed focused and said he definitely felt warm but it didn't change his mind on becoming a volunteer fireman!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Morgan and Emma !

 

The 3rd birthday party was a hit with the kids; 

 they loved riding the white pony (Tiny Tim) and the black horse (Black Beauty). 

Morgan enjoyed riding more than Emma did, but we got Emma on the pony once.

I love my new Monkey Portraits book. Here are more pictures beyond those portraits.

 

 

Here's a video circulating with a couple of different titles:
One is Job Market 2009

The other is Get in the Truck.

We could watch endless videos on these machines instead of getting a life,

but for those who liked the golf pro instruction about the proper way to chuck your five iron into the drink,

Thanks for this Bill!  Only a few more weeks until the '08 season.

 

 

Jay Leno: Hey, anybody see the new $5 bill that just came out? The Treasury has taken steps to discourage counterfeiters, such as making it worth less than a dollar. ... According to the latest polls, John McCain now in a double-digit lead over the Democrats. To give you an idea how far McCain is ahead in the polls, today, Hillary offered him the vice presidency. ... According to a new CNN poll, John McCain would win the presidential election if only beer drinkers voted. Now, a Democrat, either Hillary or Barack would win, if only wine drinkers voted. But here’s the interesting part, if we all got really drunk on tequila, Ralph Nader might actually have a shot. ... In more serious news, big controversy last week after State Department officials looked at passport files of all three major candidates. Turns out, they got a hold of John McCain’s Social Security number. You know what it is? Three. ... Osama bin Laden has released another anti-American speech. And out of force of habit, Barack Obama denounced the remarks and said he wasn’t even in the room at the time the statements were being made. ... Hillary Clinton was supposed to be our guest tonight, but she got pinned down by sniper fire. Who would have guessed Hillary would have more war stories than John McCain? ... Hillary’s campaign is claiming she misspoke when she said she landed under gunfire during her trip to Bosnia. Turns out it was gunfire on a trip to L.A. ... She now admits there weren’t any snipers. And today Bill Clinton said, “Hey, if I would have known there weren’t any snipers, I would not have sent her there in the first place.”

 

And I heard from Lou this week that although NY Gov. Dave Patterson confessed to having had several affairs while married, right now he isn't seeing anyone!

DON'T FLASH HEADLIGHTS AT ANY CAR WITH NO LIGHTS
ON!!
       
Police  officers working with the DARE program have
issued this Warning:
       
 If you  are driving after dark and see an on-coming car with no headlights
on, DO NOT  FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM! This is a common 'Bloods' member
 'initiation game'  that goes like this:
 
The new gang
member under initiation drives
 along with no  headlights, and the first car to
flash their headlights at him is
now his  'target.' He is now required to turn around
and chase and .......

 

Thanks for this notice Liza. 

We look forward to seeing the Pope at Yankee Stadium with you.

 

 
 

Every once in a while....In life........You run into a genius with a

true talent!

 

Here's the joke Chuck's wife Mary told us last week. Later emailed to me by Ann.

HOPE YOU HAD A HAPPY EASTER

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the
middle of the road.


He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps
right in
front of the car.

The driver,
a sensitive man as well as an animal lover,
pulls over and gets out to see
what has become of the rabbit.
Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the Easter Bunny, and he is  DEAD .

The driver feels so awful   that he begins to cry.
A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway
sees a man crying on the side of the road
and pulls over.

She steps out of the car and asks the man
what's wrong.

"I feel terrible," ! he explains,
"I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM."

The blonde says,"Don't worry."

She runs to her car
and pulls out a spray can.
She walks over to the limp, dead  Easter Bunny ,
bends down,
and sprays the contents onto him.

The  Easter Bunny  jumps up,
waves its paw at the two of them
and hops off down the road.

Ten feet away he stops,
turns around and waves again,

he hops down the road another 10 feet,
turns and waves,

hops another ten feet,
turns and waves,

and repeats this again and again and again and again,
until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished.
He runs over to the woman and demands,

"What is in that can?
What did you spray on the Easter Bunny ?"

The woman turns the can around
so that the man can read the label.

It says..



(Are you ready for this?)

(Are you sure?)
(You know you're gonna be sorry)

(Last chance)


(OK, here it is)


It says,


"Hair Spray
Restores life to dead hair,
and adds permanent wave."

Happy Easter!!!


 


 

My piggy bank after I bought gas this morning...

Thanks Rox! Good seeing you last week.

We could go on and on with economy pictures like this.

I published my long 5 page dissertation on best emails two weeks ago outlining what Gerry now calls the 4 core needs we have:

 

1. We must all have food and water.

2. We Northerners must heat our houses in the winter.

3. We need electricity to power our computers and cell phones.

4. We need gasoline if we wish to go to the store to buy food, etc.

What did you do today to earn any one of these things?

 

But right after I published it, my internet service provider emailed me to verify my identity.

(Google is unbelievably powerful.)  So I pulled it off,

but email me if you'd like to receive my take on the economy two weeks ago.
