Hello on Saturday Morning

Dear Friends,

The Wine & Beer Tasting, that I was so worrying about, went well. The Curley Table was lucky once again. The woman who won a pair of Red Sox Tickets last year, won the 50/50 raffle this year to a tune of $680. A couple other ladies at our table won some Chinese Auction prizes too. It does appear that the Curley Table might be full once again next year. We have to keep the lucky streak going.

I didn't visit Mom yesterday, but I will do so today after doing a couple of errands.

Sports -- I did come home in time to watch the Boston Celtic Post Game show. Yes, my team won once again. Boston Sports teams are really packing them in once again. The Boston Bruins Hockey Team are a game or so out of first place in their division. The Celtics are trying to earn a home court position as the Celtics get closer to the playoffs. The New England Patriots have made some super personnel changes this year, and they should have a great season. Finally the Boston Red Sox Baseball Team have their home season opener at Fenway on Monday. It is a great time in my life to have all these New England based teams vying to be number one. What is really amazing, is that you could squeeze all the New England States into one area, and still this region wouldn't be as large as the State of Texas or a California.

Speaking of sports, a friend of ours had a new family move into their neighborhood. The friend asked the couple if they wanted to come over to their house for a little "Welcome to the neighborhood party". The initial response was "Yes". A few minutes later, our friend received a telephone call, and their new neighbors declined the offer to get together. The new male neighbor asked if there was going to be a television on so that he watch the semifinals of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Since our friends said "No", the party was canceled. Can you have a party, and still watch a little sports?
There are some houses for sale in our neighborhood!

Can there ever be a day in the United States or the world when no tragedies occur? It is time for the United States to have a Suicide Forest like they do in Japan. If life's struggles seem to be too much to cope with, and mental health counseling doesn't seem to work, then just kill yourself. Don't kill or maim innocent people. The incident in western New York was the motivation for the last comment.

I still maintain that "Life is Good!".

Have a great Saturday and Sunday.
Talk to you soon. The Curley Lad
