Good morning crew,

Who would have thought it? After nearly a year of scheming, planning, negotiating, pleas, threats and crisis management, my little sweetie still went through with the wedding.

That's a good sign.

If she can still tolerate me after the insanity of planning a wedding, small hurdles like selling the condo and buying a house should be a cake walk.

But that is for next month or the month after. The next project is the honeymoon. Fortunately that is already mostly planned.

I will fill you in on a few details from the wedding tomorrow.

Laugh it up,

Joe

There has been a lot of talk about conserving energy. Like keeping the thermostat down in the winter. Using low energy bulbs. Turning off lights. Using less gas. It made me realize, my dad was like the first environmentalist. He would walk around the house yelling, 'turn off those lights! Turn the heat down!' He was green before his time." -Jay Leno

As I serviced an alarm system at a jewelry store recently, the saleswoman let me know that the store was having a 20 percent off sale.

"I bet your girlfriend would love it if you bought her something." she suggested.

"I don't have a girlfriend," I answered.

"No girlfriend? Why not?"

"My wife won't let me."

Although I knew our commanding officer hated doling out weekend passes, I thought I had a good reason.

"My wife is pregnant and I want to be with her," I told the C.O. Much to my surprise he said, "Permission granted."

Inspired by my success, a fellow soldier also requested a weekend pass. His wife wasn't pregnant, so when the C.O. asked why he should grant him permission, my friend responded, "My wife is getting pregnant this weekend and I want to be with her."
