Getting Old

I received this funny email from my mother. I just had to share.

George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 . . . and your dreams are gone. But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I was JUST 92." Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!


Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Recipe Search

Today I came across a recipe site that I really enjoyed. It's cooks.com and if the words red snapper, garlic mashed potatoes, apple crisp and baked ribs don't cause your mouth to water, I suggest you go see the doctor, because something must be wrong with you.

Another Mormon Movie

This time it's called Pride & Prejudice A Latter-day comedy. Jason Faller is the producer of this Jane Austen calssic. He says, "It's not an inside Mormon joke. It has a market," Fuller said. " 'Pride and Prejudice' has a huge following. It's kind of like 'Star Wars' for women."

At first I was a little prejudice at the thought of another remake, but after reading the article I'm convinced that it might be worth seeing.

Halloween Costume

Help my friends. Usually by this time of year my dazzling, award winning Halloween costume is almost complete. This year I have made a late start and the ideas are few. Do you have any good costume ideas?

Disk Golf

Last week I was able to runaway from home and enjoy the beauty offered by nature in Yellowstone. We visited the grand canyon inside the park and Old Faithful. Both were amaizing to see.

Besides visiting Yellowstone, I was able to play a couple games of disk golf. In the past, I've played a version of Frisby Golf, but had no idea that this is a real sport where people can actually spend loads of $$.

There are several types of disks one can use, all depending on the conditions, speed, distance and so forth. I mostly used the Innova's shark for my driver and a simple putter for the rest. I found that with the right tools, even a bad frisby thrower like me can throw a mean disk.

This is an enjoyable sport that I could easily get addicted to. For all those interested, I found a web site that can help you find the right disks for you.
