We gave away a daughter that day
A glass we raised to toast
We danced and laughed the night away
We were the perfect hosts
But when the guests departed
And silence filled the room
I thanked my lucky stars
For years ago I was your groom
Happy Anniversary Janet
I love you more each day

Just got back from a sneak preview of the new "Star Trek" movie. Two Vulcan Ears UP! Very well done. Reminds me of the old TV series but with much, much better effects. This movie should ensure that the franchise will "live long and prosper."
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Georgia. All three go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Georgia contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700." The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence." "Done!" replies the government official. And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work.
