Aloha!! About the time you read this, I will be lying on a sunny

(hopefully) beach in Maui nervously anticipating the 26-mile walk I will be

doing on Sunday. When you wake up Sunday, think of all of us that will

be eating breakfast at 2:30 in the morning and catching the bus to the

marathon. We start the walk at 5 a.m. and have to have it done within 9 hours.

I think I am going to give a great big sigh of relief when this is all over!

Sparky would love to go to Hawaii with me and try out all the fresh

seafood! I know I will sleep better without him waking me up but will

also suffer the consequences of leaving him alone for five days when I

return. His latest thing is a jealousy of Brian. He likes him and loves up to him

but then lays down and stares mournfully at me as if his heart were broken.

How dare I pay attention to someone else!

Corny joke of the week: When does a truck driver stop to eat?

When he comes to a fork in the road!

“Life is a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you can

only spend it once.”

It happened this week: Monopoly was invented in 1933;

Chuck Berry melted hearts with his song “Sweet Little Sixteen” in 1958;

The Girl Scouts were formed in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low to teach

girls outdoor skills and community service; and Alexander Graham Bell sent

the first clear telephone message in 1876 with these words: “Mr. Watson,

come here, I want you.”
