With the snow and ice of the last 7-10 days, many people are running way late. Some spouses are very understanding and other haven't a clue. A case in point...

Adam had been out late a few nights and Eve got real suspicious.

"Your out late again tonight, are you seeing other women?!"

"Eve", replied Adam. "Get a grip..you are the only women on this entire planet." The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep. He was awaken to something poking him in the chest.

"Eve, What are you doing poking me in the chest and waking me?!"

"I am counting your ribs," replied Eve.

Yup, it is time for the snowmen to hide till next winter. Some say, "You still have your Christmas decorations UP?"

No, These are winter decorations. The snow does not leave with Santa and neither does the snowmen. My wife decorates for all the seasons, and winter is just one of them. It does mix in with the Christmas season but, So What!

Usually around the middle of Feb. when the seed catalogs and spring garden shows start popping up, Judy gets spring fever and the snowmen disappear.

Many of you seen the my post of Judy's snowmen. Well, at this time of year, this is my favorite. It means that planting my garden and soft water fishing isn't far behind!

It has been a hard week, but, then things don't always come easy, do they.

My Step-son is a math professor and he shared this story with me...

We have two test tubes here, said the professor of IVF studies a a large university. They contain 2 very carefully synthesised ingredients that we use to create human life. In test tube 'A' have a genetically engineered copy of all the ingredients of the female ovum. In test tube 'B' the active ingredients of the male spermatozoa.

If I mix the two together in a aseptic glass container, a new human life will be formed. Any questions?

"Could you possibly give us a demonstration" asked an awed member of the audience.

"I am sorry", said the professor, "Not tonight, solution 'A' has a headache!

When I am alone with my thoughts, my mind wanders. In fact, I have to believe that my mind spends more time on vacation than the rest of my body does.

Most of the time my musingsare just tidbits that flow in and out of my consciousness with out much meaning.

Here are 4 random thought from Will Rogers. I believe that they do pertain directly to business and especially to our business.

Never miss a chance to shut up. How many times have you wished you did?

If you find yourself in a hole....STOP DIGGING!!!

Good Judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from BAD judgment!

I don't know how I got over the hill, without getting on top.

Sometimes we are in such a hurry, that we just don't stop and listen to our own common sense instead we head full steam into what is a brick wall.

When adversity hits....Stop, take a breath and assess the situation. Then with all your marbles together, act!

It has been a hard week. Many issues on the home front to boring to share. I need to get through today because tomorrow is a busy day with out of town clients. With all the political adds calling for change (Again) and some of my clients wanting some change...see my previous post, we need to smile. So, for this morning, here is a smile...

HOW MANY PSYCHIATRISTS does it take to change a light bulb?

Only one, but, it takes a long time and the light bulb must have a genuine desire to change!

Now this could actually be associated in our own lives.
