Not a gloat, but...
Some folks gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling, and I thought I'd mention it..
We mat a couple from Alaska last year on their vacation in Mexico.. Talked to them for maybe 20 min at the pool and sort of forgot about them.. They came down again last week and I was sort of surprised that they not only remembered us, but that I turned pens.. They'd stopped in Oregon on the way down and brought me a couple pounds of pen blanks, mostly myrtlewood and some exotics that they'd never heard of.. (zebrawood, cocobolo, etc.) I just thought that it was so nice of them to remember me and bring the stuff all the way down here with them.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

See - every day we make memories -for ourselves
as well as others. Doesn't take much to make them good ones, or at least not bad ones. And sometimes that Cast Your Bread Upon The Waters thing turns out to be true. I think I'm gonna add a signature line "There are far more angels than assholes" Thanks for confirming that - again. charlie b |

That's cause they're a pain in the ass.
And our first thoughts are to remove pain. Sorta like "hard to remember the objective was to drain the swamp when you're up to your ass in alligators". TomNie "mac davis" wrote in message ...
