I will for sure do that for her tonight. Thinking of grilling up some NY Strips....

After that, we're going to roll to Houston to see my buddy Cory Morrow play...

Thanks. I didn't git lit, but I come from a place where that phrase has a very different meaning that what you intended. I did knock back a couple of cold ones.

I hope so too. I talked with one of the old timer contract guys late yesterday and he's pretty confidant that the money will magically appear. Says it almost always goes this way when one deals with government contracts. Hope he's right.

 

Good luck to you Scott. This seems just like when I worked for Titleist. Towards the end of the fiscal year everything got cut because of no money in the budget. Then magically right before the end there was money up the wazoo and they spent it like it was going out of style. It drove me nuts when you'd order parts and the order would get cut down, then they b**ch that the machine was down.

 

Afternoon you all hows it going so far?

 

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours
in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers .

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large
and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf *****. He
then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the
jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas
between the golf *****. He then asked the students again if the jar was
full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the
jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured
the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space
between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf ***** are the
important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends
and y our favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only
they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house
and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into
the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the
golf *****. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and
energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that
are important to you.

'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend
time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with
grandparents. Take time to get medical check-ups. Take your spouse out
to dinner.

Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix
the disposal. Take care of the golf ***** first---the things that really
matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer
represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Please share this with someone you care about.. I JUST DID
