Hello on Thursday Morning

Dear Friends,

Our Wednesday went as planned except for the fact that I got the Queen involved in my outdoor projects.
While I was taking an afternoon nap, she continued on with the project which I started. She spent the evening trying to heal her aching body.
She has given me strict orders to leave her alone today. Yeah Right!
I hope that I can straighten out the shelves in the garage without her assistance.

The Wake prayer service went okay last evening. Father Curley did his best to comfort the grieving family through the words of our one page prayer service.

Sports -- The Red Sox and Yankees have identical records, and they both share first place in their division. It took a Red Sox win, and a Yankee loss to make it happen. The Red Sox play at 1 PM today before they head home to play a weekend series with Texas before the Yankees come to Fenway.

Social Calendar -- Linda is booked into a 6 PM function. The ladies are finalizing their plans for their yearly trip to Cape Cod.
I could attend a 6 PM on Italian Heritage at Pittsfield Community Television. A committee is trying to start an Italian American Hour program which will be televised. They need all kinds of volunteers to make it happen. I have no desire to work cameras, etc. especially since I can't even take pictures with an Instamatic camera.

Politics -- Rush Limbaugh is leaning towards the President's selection for the Supreme Court.
The President's speech to the Muslim world will be a big topic of discussion.

Observation -- When ever you think that you have quite a few physical problems, their is always someone who has more severe problems. As an example, as my friend and I were driving to the wake last evening, he was complaining about the arthritis in his hands. While we were waiting and gathering for the prayer service, a fellow UNICAN started to describe the physical problems that he has gone through during the past year. He used to work for one of those high powered law firms in Berkshire County. He would never get home before 7:30 PM each night. The stress of the job was starting to kill him. He was experiencing all kinds of physical problems. He was going back and forth to hospitals in Boston as the doctors were trying to figure out what was making him sick. He quit the law firm, took a loss in pay, and is now using his lawyer skills in a less stressful place of employment. His physical problems have all but disappeared. His is enjoying his family more, and "Life is Good".

Have to read the local newspaper, and get to the garage cleaning.
Talk to you soon. The Curley Lad
