For Brooke's Consideration
I'm trying to get Brooke to use this song for her bridesmaids. Very romantic.
Recalling Childhood
Nothing like YouTube to allow you to see things you haven't seen in years! I loved The Monkees! YouTube is a wonderful thing!!
A Crazy Woman and an Honest Young Man
This story from New York shouldn't be surpising, but it is.
ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (AP) - A woman who lost 24-thousand dollars in cash at a movie theater says she was stunned when the teenager who found the wad returned it. The teen, Christopher Montgomery, of Lynbrook, didn't want to speak about his good deed. His mom, Donna Montgomery, says he's not the type of person to want all the attention. But for RoseMarie Limoncelli, the 19-year-old college student's choice was commendable. Limoncelli, who runs a business, says her life could have been flipped upside down if she hadn't recovered the pouch of 100 bills wrapped in rubber bands. The money, which she was carrying because she hadn't had time to go to the bank, fell out of her purse as she sat inside a theater. Christopher Montgomery, an employee at the theater, found the money while he was cleaning between the seats. He turned it over to his manager, who gave it back to Limoncelli after she called the theater in a panic. The teen has refused offers for a cash reward.
What a goober. Taking 24K to the movies is just CRAZY!!

Things That Make You Go "Hmmmm"
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer then we complained about the hear?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And finally...
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

Kirkpatrick Knew
Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, an unabashed apostle of Reagan era conservatism and the first woman U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and fellow Oklahoman, passed away this week.
Kirpatrick's "Blame America First" speech at the Republican National Convention, (at the time she was a Democrat, btw) is as true now as it was then:
American people know that it's dangerous to blame ourselves
for terrible problems that we did not cause.
They understand just as the distinguished French writer, Jean Francois Revel, understands the dangers of endless self- criticism and self-denigration.
He wrote: "Clearly, a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself."
Bill Bennett, a former secretary of education under Reagan, the nation's drug czar under the first President Bush and a leading conservative opinion-maker, called her "very forceful, very strong, a daughter of Oklahoma, great sense of humor. She held her own."
Bennett said the Iraq Study Group so prominently in the news "would have been better with Jeane Kirkpatrick on it ... She had no patience with tyrannies, said they had to be confronted, you couldn't deal with tyrannies, that there were some people you could work with - these people you couldn't."

I KNEW The Folks at YouTube Wouldn't Let Me Down
There I was complaining that I didn't have BBC1. Now someone was kind enough to post the first episode of "Jam and Jerusalem" on YouTube. Tivo is a wonderful thing.
