Good morning crew,

Well, it was quite a weekend. I packed in a lot of relaxation. To tell you the truth I'm glad to be back at work so I can rest up a bit.

Laugh it up,

Joe

"One?!" She repeated her answer and then because of the confused look on my face, she added, "You always told me never to use my left foot on the brakes, only use my right one."

While trying to explain to our six-year-old daughter how much technology had changed, my husband pointed to our brand-new personal computer and told her that when he was in college, a computer with the same amount of power would have been the size of a house.
