    I read this today and it really struck me as inciteful and true. Enjoy...

    Is anybody happier
    Because you passed his way?
    Does anyone remember
    That you spoke to him today?
    This day is almost over,
    And its toiling time is through;
    Is there anyone to utter now,
    A friendly word for you?

    Can you say tonight in passing,
    That you helped a single person,
    Of the many that you passed?
    Is a single heart rejoicing,
    Over what you did or said?

    Does one whose hopes were fading
    Now with courage look ahead?
    Think not on yesterday, nor trouble borrow
    On what may be in tore for you tomorrow;
    But let today be you incessant care --
    The past is past, tomorrow's in the air.
    Who gives today the best that in him lies
    Will find the road that leads to clearer skies.

    Today the Nuggets announced that Dan Issel would be back as head coach next season. In related news, the NBA announced that the Nuggets have been mathematically eliminated from the 2002 NBA playoffs already.

    It does count, especially if you can give her a little Pickle Tickle.

    Yes, the Airborn Express woman was new, did not know this area, and was happy that I told her, "Yes, this is the right place."

    Does anyone remember
    That you spoke to him today?


    I told my mother some great stories on the phone...I am confident she will remember talking to me.

    This day is almost over,
    And its toiling time is through;
    Is there anyone to utter now,
    A friendly word for you?


    First, the day is not almost over...second, I just gave a body shop guy $3125 in cash...pretty sure he could say nice things about me.

    Can you say tonight in passing,
    That you helped a single person,
    Of the many that you passed?
    Is a single heart rejoicing,
    Over what you did or said?


    Seing as this requires both psychic powers and the ability to predict the future, I cannot begin to answer this question.

    Does one whose hopes were fading
    Now with courage look ahead?
    Think not on yesterday, nor trouble borrow
    On what may be in tore for you tomorrow;
    But let today be you incessant care --
    The past is past, tomorrow's in the air.
    Who gives today the best that in him lies
    Will find the road that leads to clearer skies.


    This confuses and frightens me. Cower...whimper...

    He died in 1922...what does he know about tomorrow?

    Really, Jeff, those questions were too easy. [​IMG]
