I’m young at heart but ancient in joints.
One of the Texas A and M advisers were on campus yesterday. He had a tee shirt that said "The Paleontologist" on the back. I almost walked over and asked if he came to se me since I have old bones. If he wears it again today, I will do that.
Well now at least he wasn’t wearing one of those nasty shirt sayings we’ve been seeing in Asheville. Some of it is just pure pornography.

Well, for the first time in 50 years, I fell off a roof. More slid off. Metal roof and the morning dew did not work well together.

Grabbed the ladder on the way down, and dropped myself down the 8' roof to the deck. Survived with just a scraped knee and a sore heal.

I will be Bruce Lee's cousin, Bruised Knee. Worked three years at the camp and only broke a fingernail. This week, I have been bandaged up several times.

I was reminded today the difference between Methodist and Mennonite. Not in a good way.

A Methodist neighbor stopped in on Sunday, and was lamenting the difference. But in a favorable way for Mennonites.
