Well they are suppose to come by and install the Direct TV today, they put the new tv up out in the new room so all the tv's are ready for the switch form cable to Direct TV. We did have some visitors come by and check out the progress of the new room, Les, Donna & Al stopped to check it out for themselves. We were charging $3 fee at the front door last night in which Les paid but Donna & Al slipped through the side door eluding the $3 entry fee. My injuries are feeling slightly better this morning but I am still a bit sore but my AIP did go down a little bit. The Red Sox, Rockies and Diamondbacks all picked up game 1 victories yesterday in MLB playoff action. I think I have put on about 4 pounds this week since the shed is off limits because they are wiring it, they haven't finished it yet though because they haven't finished everything in the house yet. I sure will be happy when I have some power in the shed. MICKEY
Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.
Charles Caleb Colton
1854 - Honest Abe Lincoln made his first great political speech while attending the Illinois State Fair in Springfield.
1931 - “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” Gumshoe Dick Tracy debuted in The Detroit Mirror. A week later, The New York Daily News and hundreds of others picked up the Chester Gould comic strip.
1933 - Esquire magazine was published for the first time. Considered racy for its time, it pales in comparison to today’s choices of reading material. Esquire can now be described as sophisticated.
1948 - Gordon MacRae hosted the premiere of a radio classic. The Railroad Hour debuted on ABC radio. The theme song was I’ve Been Working on the Railroad and the show was sponsored by -- get ready -- America’s Railroads.
1954 - Comedienne Spring Byington began the successful network TV series, December Bride -- on CBS. The show had started on radio in 1952 before making the switch to black and white TV.
1957 - Leave It to Beaver premiered on CBS-TV. “...And starring Jerry Mathers as the Beaver,” Hugh Beaumont (Ward Cleaver), Tony Dow (Wally), and Barbara Billingsley as Mrs. June Cleaver. The Cleavers lived a surreal-American life. June even did the housework in three strands of pearls, fashion plate dresses, makeup and high heels. Life was so grand!
1970 - Janis Joplin died from a drug overdose. She was 27. Joplin, known for her passionate, bluesy, vocal style, was the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company. She became a superstar with hits like, Down on Me, Pearl (her nickname) and Every Little Piece of My Heart; but Me and Bobby McGee was her only certified top 40 hit. The Bette Midler movie, The Rose, was based on Joplin’s life.
Reaching it
To achieve anything, you must truly want it. And that means more than simply desiring the end result. It means you must also want to go through the process of creating that achievement.
To have anything of value, be willing to build that value within yourself. Short circuiting the process, skipping across the effort and going directly to the end result, will not work, because what you obtain that way is not truly yours. You'll always be looking over your shoulder, worried that you'll lose it just as easily as you got it.
To travel from one place to another, you must find a way to traverse the distance in between. Every effort which stands between you and your goal serves to increase the value of reaching that goal.
The value of reaching your goal depends on what you put into reaching it. Make the achievement yours, give it true value, by making it the result of your efforts.

are we really eluding anybody if we have the key?
I think you have a technicality there Al - did they give you authorization to use that key at will, or were there stipulations placed on its use?
Mick - you must be getting a little chub if you put on 4 pounds :)
Mickey could use a little extra weigh. I will have to find out if Al can use the key at will. Bobby did give him one. HUMMM Do I have one.
don't give me a key if you don't expect me to use it!!
Dad didn't give me a key, but Mickey did. So, much for changing the locks.
hey where is my key?
