Best of 2012

"If you had high hopes, how would you know how high

they were?  And did you know that narrow escapes come

in all different widths?  Would you travel the whole wide 

world without ever knowing how wide it was?  And how

could you do anything at long last," he concluded, waving

his arms over his hear,  " without know how long the last was?"

 He was afraid of what might come leaking out.

 (As I wander into the Marriott Center, by myself, I took an opportunity to introduced myself to  Coach Rose as he was "coming to work," I acted brave, shook his hand  and told him how proud I am to have 2 nephews on his team.  He raised an eyebrow...I dont think he knew....
the fun never quits!!!
