Quote of the Day:
There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down -- until,until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living. ~ George Sheehan ~

"Enjoy yourself/It's later than you think/Enjoy yourself/while you're still in the pink/The years go by/As quickly as a wink/Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself/It's later than you think." (Words to a 1940's song.)

I will be without a computer next week, so I will need someone to fill in for me on next Wednesday's Question.
Have a great day everyone!


Great QOTD, Pat. Thanks.

Today’s Question(s):
Which would you rather go to:
Concert
Sporting event - As long as it has cheer leaders! Oh wait.. NASCAR doesn't have cheer leaders..
Auction
Seminar on your favorite topic
Theme Park
Famous tourist attraction - Any natural wonders... like.. Pamela Anderson... Just kidding, I'm talking about real natural wonders, like the Grand Canyon.
Casino
None of the above, I'd much rather stay home and read a good book
Other? - I wouldn't mind being on a Boeing 767-300, going about 495 knots IAS (about 530 MPH) at 36,000 feet, on the way to one of the Hawaiian Islands.

Bonus Question:
If you could look out your window every day and have the best view in the world, what would you see? - Hmm... Everytime I look out my window, I see my neighbor... mooning everybody... - I'm only kidding, again I love the view of the earth from cruise altitudes above 30,000 feet. Like this one below, on my favorite aircraft, the Boeing 767, on the way to Honolulu in July of 2010, at 36,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean.



Just for Fun:
If you were a non-human animal, which one would you be, and why? - Bow wow wow wow wow wow... Grrrrr.. Does that answer your question? Do I get a treat now?
