Morning Beachie!!

I sure hope you and the other east coast FReepers stay safe, what a storm!!

Rained here all weekend so I just stayed low and watched my favorite team lose :-(

New week's upon us and more rain on my end but very warm.

As usual, must fill up the 'ol coffee cup and hit it..

Stay safe!

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

Was thinking about you and rain while watching Twilight in prep for the final Breaking Dawn.

We are cool and wet and hunkered down. Tonight and in the morning will be interesting.

Hope your Monday is marvelous.

How are you doing this morning? My Office is closed today due to the weather. I assume it will be closed again tomorrow. Wind is picking up here in Laurel – this could get interesting!

Lou Gehrig was an outstanding slugger and an admirable man. He acted with grace, dignity and courage in the face of a dread disease.

"Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth."

Good morning night owl ((HUGS))

Starting to get pretty windy here. I’m expecting the tv reception to go any minute...the negative thing about having a dish.

Going to sign off for the day. I expect we’ll be home tomorrow too.

Have a good Monday.

Good afternoon, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Not fit for man nor beast out here! Winds have already gotten so high that I had to take the Flag down. Office closed today and tomorrow. This storm appears to be the genuine article!

A few years ago I actually met a man who attended aviator school with Ted Williams. I really am not at liberty to discuss the subject at all. Even mentioning this here is probably something that I might have decided wrong about. That other fellow was amazing himself though. He knew a lot of well known people and he shared a few insights and tales with me.

This guy himself was not very imposing. Ordinary height and weight and just a regular guy until you learned more of him.

I consider myself honored to have met and known him even if it was just a little bit. So many others did also what Ted Williams did in the military but most names we will never know.

Great thread.
