Hmm

 


Looking Good

 


Charge!

 


Calendar Correction


I have just learned that today, June 10, is designated not as Father's Day but as:

National Black Cow Day

National Iced Tea Day

National Frosted Cookie Day

National Egg Roll Day

National Herbs & Spices Day

National Ballpoint Pen Day

I will celebrate National Ballpoint Pen Day, but every day should be Father's Day.

First Paragraph

 They died on the same day. And it was no ordinary day. It was the Fourth of July, 1826, exactly fifty years from the date the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence. This, "our fiftieth anniversary," as Daniel Webster exclaimed, was "the great day of National Jubilee."

The Paradoxical Commandments

Love them anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway.
