Improvisation
Okay, so this edition
looks very different. The truth is, my computer went crazy just when I
was about to start this edition. Apparently, Microsoft decided to pull
the plug on my email program (Live Mail) at the end of January but I never
opened that particular program until just now. I only found out about
this move by Microsoft after I did a quick research when my program disappeared
(and along with it went all my precious joke emails from all of my friends).
If there was any warning, I certainly did not hear it.
So I decided to back up my computer before I try drastic measures to regenerate
my emails. I'm using my backup computer to write this. Gazing over at
the regular computer it's still hours away before completion.
This whole day was pretty messed up. I had planned to continue work on
a book for a client but another client sent a distress signal for a feature
in her website to accept appointments. What I thought was going to be
a simple coding turned into a nightmare. I finally got that done but now
everything else was backed up. Lots of work tomorrow (sigh!). Don't you
hate that when it happens?
I wish I had some insights I could share but getting this email out on
time is already a challenge. Please forgive my patchwork TGIF email. I
just want to make sure you still get something to smile about.
It's Superbowl weekend here in America! As always, being the marketing
man that I am, I'm more interested in the commercials. Weird, huh?
TGIF people!
Mother
Superior Contributed by Tom of
Pasadena, CA
The 98 year old Mother Superior
from Ireland was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her
last journey comfortable.

They gave her some
warm milk to drink but she refused. Then one of the nuns took the glass
back to the kitchen. Remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey
received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened and poured a generous
amount into the warm milk.
Back at Mother Superior's
bed, she held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little, then a little
more and before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to the
last drop.
"Mother,"
the nuns asked with earnest, "please give us some wisdom before
you die."
She raised herself
up in bed and with a pious look on her face said,
"Don't sell that cow!!!"

Roasting
Sinatra Sent by Tom of Pasadena
Jonathan Winters
just kills the crowd in this roast of Frank Sinatra.
One thing that
struck me --- all of those people in that room have passed away.
Mary Tyler Moore, Carrie Fisher, Deb Reynolds, ... we're all lining
up.

than this guy.
