Wednesday 12th June 2013……Yea hockey is back!!!

Had an easy morning and then went to pick up Paola we just messed around about town doing some chores and she is so happy these days a joy to be around…..then it was off to poker where I continued my winning ways raking in 170 pesos and from there home to do some work around the house, showered, had a nice meal and now about ……..you got it… to watch hockey……..  the first game of the Stanley Cup final Blackhawks versus Bruins I cannot decide who to cheer for so I am going to remain neutral.

One of my hikes in Scotland last year!!!

Some more sage advice!!!

 

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year,
And every year Morris would say,
'Esther,I'd like to ride in that helicopter.'

Esther always replied,
'I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars,
And fifty dollars is fifty dollars'

One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said,
'Esther, I'm 85 years old.
If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.'

To this, Esther replied,
'Morris that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.'

The pilot overheard the couple and said,
'Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word I won't charge you a penny!
But if you say one word it's fifty dollars.'

Morris and Esther agreed and up they went.
The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuver's, but not a word was heard.
He did his daredevil tricks over and over again,
But still not a word.

When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said,
'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't.
I'm impressed!'


Morris replied,
'Well, to tell you the truth,
I almost said something when Esther fell out,
But you know,
fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'

 

Yashi Koshi!!!
