Good morning crew,

Today is the wife's birthday...I think. It's either today or Saturday. But it's definitely in February.

To celebrate we are going out tonight for a couple drinks at our favorite waterin' hole and I might even splurge on a slice of pizza.

I know it doesn't sound extravagant, but this weekend we along with a group of friends will be going to the Hofbrauhaus in Rosemont for an evening of excellent food and entertainment, so if it turns out that her birthday IS Saturday it will be much better timing.

All I have to do is get through promotion testing at the taekwondo school Saturday morning without permanently emotionally scarring any little kids.

I'll let you know how things go next week.

Laugh it up,

Joe

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him.
He can eat whenever he wants.
His meals are provided at no cost to him.
He visits the Doctor once a year for his check-up, and again during the year if any medical needs arise.
For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
He lives in a nice neighbourhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
He makes no contribution to the running or maintenance of the house.
If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses what- soever.
All of his costs are picked up by others who go out, work hard, and earn a living every day.
I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head...

I think my dog might be in Congress!
