One of the best email messages I have received this year:

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots.  Apparently, you can't go alone.  You have to be in Cahoots with someone.    I've also never been in Cognito.  I hear no one recognizes you there.    I have, however, been in Sane.  They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there.  I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.   I live close so it's a short drive. I actually kind of enjoy it there.    I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.    I have also been in Doubt.  That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.    I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.    Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.    One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense!  It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart!  At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!    And, sometimes I think I am in Vincible but life shows me I am not.    People keep telling me I'm in Denial but I'm positive. I've never been there before!    So far, I haven't been in Continent, but my travel agent says I'll be going soon.

Green side of the grass

I have not done much this week, but I am still on the green side of the grass, at least.

One of the many things no one tells you about aging is 

that it is such a nice change from being young.

Abraham Lincoln Stories

STOOD BY THE "SILENT MAN."

Once, in reply to a delegation, which visited the White House, the members of which were unusually vociferous in their demands that the Silent Man (as General Grant was called) should be relieved from duty, the President remarked:

"What I want and what the people want is generals who will fight battles and win victories.

"Grant has done this, and I propose to stand by him."

This declaration found its way into the newspapers, and Lincoln was upheld by the people of the North, who, also, wanted "generals who will fight battles and win victories."
