Good morning crew,

I am going to look at a house tomorrow afternoon. I can't afford it, and even if I could I don't have a buyer for the condo, but I'm going to look anyway. Why? Because I'm not very smart. It's like going to the car dealership and sitting in the 60,000 dollar sports car you can't afford. You always feel more depressed when you head back out to the parking lot and drive home in your Ford Focus. But I figure I should at least be conversant with what is out there in the market just in case a miracle occurs and somebody actually wants to pay me what I still owe on the condo. It could happen. And all of the atoms in my body could spontaneously and simultaneously leap one foot to the left.

Then tomorrow night I have a date, and Saturday I promised old Mason I would help him finish his garage floor. I look at projects like that as friend currency. I spend a day helping him finish his garage floor and then he owes me a day for when I need help moving into a house, three or four years from now.

Laugh it up,

Joe

The Godfather: "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse. Well, he can refuse it, of course. I just know that if someone were to make me an offer like this, I'd jump all over it. But who am I to impose my feelings on someone else?"

The Terminator: "I'll be back. Do you need anything while I'm out?"

Dirty Harry: "You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? I ask myself that every day, and you know what? I feel so very lucky. Loving family, steady work..."

Taxi Driver: "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Sorry, it looked like you were talkin' to me. My mistake."

Bob hadn't been to a class reunion in twenty years. When he walked into this latest one, he thought he recognized a woman over in the corner, so he approached her and extended his hand in greeting, saying, "You look like Helen Brown."

"Well," the woman snapped back, "you don't look so great in blue, either!"
