Good morning crew,

I was actually able to taste my coffee this morning, for the first time in over two weeks. That's a good sign. I think I just might be recovering. This was one tenacious bug. I don't think I have ever been sick this long.

And good timing, too. Our little, local St. Patrick's Day Irish parade is this weekend and the wife is really looking forward to it. I am too, but I'm more afraid that the wife would have more fun going to it by herself if I were still laid up in bed with a debilitating upper respiratory infection. So I'd better make myself available and eager.

Well, nothing aids the body's convalescence like drinking beer in the middle of the day while walking from bar to bar in 40 degree weather.

Laugh it up,

Joe

Halfway through a romantic dinner at a nice, cozy restaurant, my husband smiled and said, "You look so beautiful under these lights."

I was falling in love all over again when he added, "We gotta get some of these lights!"

At a jewelry store, a young man bought an expensive locket as a present for his girlfriend. "Dot you want her name engraved upon it?" asked the jeweler.

The young man thought for a moment, and then, ever the pragmatist, steadfastly replied,

"No, just engrave it: To My One And Only Love. That way, if we break up and she throws it back in my face, I can use it again."
