a funny forward...

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (Written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that Usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is.......
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

Rain out

Rain Rain go away because I have Sox tickets today...

Still coming down. Game time is 4:05, and it appears that a postponement will be in order. These were the big plans for the week, so I'm bummed.

Update - Cancelled due to inclimate weather. Rescheduled for May 3. However, I'll be on a plane heading for London. Lucky Gunnar gets to go with his friends. Damn this weather.

Chellie Pingree declares

Exciting news for the week is that Chellie Pingree will run for Maine's first congressional seat. Current Rep. Tom Allen seems to be stepping down, perhaps to run for Senate. Everyone on the team from 2002 must be as excited as I am. Full-circle. Contribute if you can to Chellie's campaign. Check out what people are saying http://www.commonblog.com/tag/Chellie%20Pingree. Chellie served as the President of Common Cause prior to her recent move as candidate. She inspires all those around her and will make a great advocate for all people, not just Mainers, WHEN she is elected to Congress. I'll post her site, once it is up.

Working on a Saturday...

I can see a slight bit of light from a covered window at our 'design center'. It is a gorgeous day and I'm just paying my dues as our team works towards getting our software rolled out. I'm eager to get out and spend some on my Saturday enjoying the previews of spring. What am I waiting for? hmmm, I suspect I've done enough time and will look to escape.

Enjoy the rest of your day. I will.
