 "We don't have a real tree,"

So, I went on line to find the Netflix toll-free number, and learned a much better lesson:  "How to conduct surveys." 

Name 3 great things that happened to you this week.

I was near the high jump pit at last Tuesday’s Lutheran Schools Field Day in Bridgman when I heard that shout of, “Get off, get off, get off!” 

I eventually got everything straightened out, and the early el teachers had a huge laugh the next day at my expense.  For several days, parents and teachers kept asking, "Hey, have you made any little kids cry today?"

Jenny chose the Droid and, with the counsel of the salesman and her, I settled on an iPhone.  If you want to know why, ask me sometime, and I won't be able to tell you.  I'm guessing that it must be easier to operate, but they didn't come right out and say that.

Ever get tired of jargon and those sayings some people spout at meetings?

Social networks are likely saving our county government a lot of money. 

But the question she posed reminded me of a time in 5th grade back at Golgotha Lutheran School on Chicago's South Side.  It was probably about 1963.  My teacher, Miss Wilcer, one of the most creative teachers I ever had, brought in Michelob beer bottles for an art lesson.

"It was like deja vu all over again..."

"A pocket knife," was heard from several of the other guys.  More scars.

"When you were a baby and you dropped your bottle on the floor..."

All of my schools have had a ‘Lost & Found’ box, but I learned very early in my career that not everything in that box was truly lost. 

I recently finished reading "Eiffel's Tower," by Jill Jonnes.  Some interesting quotes I ran across by Thomas Edison and Gustave Eiffel may give you a smile.
 
"Really, what I need is a good housekeeper who..."

Martin Luther was an advocate of government, even bad government or government with which we disagree.

Apparently the economy isn't that bad after all.
