A man was walking along the beach in California one day, thinking to himself and doing his best to sort out his life and pray for happiness. He stopped and looked up to the sky, looking for a sign of his faith, and said, "Oh Lord, if you are there... grant me one wish."

Suddenly there was a crack of lightning in the sky and in a booming voice echoed from above, saying, "Man, you have done your best to be faithful, though you have not always succeeded. I will grant your prayer and offer you one wish."

The man looked out over the ocean, thought it over for a moment, and said, "I wish for you to build a bridge all the way to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime I want to."

The voice boomed, "Think of this would entail! The millions of tons of concrete and steel, the depths of the Pacific to build on... such a materialistic wish! I can certainly do it, as anything is in my power, but it would be better for your soul to put aside this desire for worldly things. Pray for a moment and think of another wish, a wish that would honor and glorify me."


The man sat down on the sand and thought about it. Finally he gazed upward and said, "Oh Lord, I have been married and divorced five times. I did not understand any of my wives, and every one said i was insensitive and ignorant..."

"Lord," he continued. "My wish is to understand women, to know how they feel, what they think, why they laugh and cry, and how I can truly make them happy." The man looked up at the sky, awaiting his answer. There was a minute of absolute silence... then another... and another.

Finally, the voice boomed, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

That would be my exact thought, too, lodwick!

[Slip18]

No biggie, CCC! I've been a "we" for a long time . . .

[Slip18]

Oh, my gosh, CCC. I've seen you up front and close; I've seen your profile page; I've seen your FReeper photo.

My, my, how you've changed.

Hhmmmm, do I like FL? Well, I suppose it (like all states) has it good points. It certainly has the best orange juice in the world!

But I miss the N/W. I miss the alpenglow on Mt. Rainier on a clear Spring morning. I miss the silhouette of 60 ft. cedars against the moonlight. I miss the rhodies. I miss the Puget Sound. I miss sunsets on Lake Crescent. I miss the rainforest. I miss the Evergreen state fair. And, yes, I miss Starbucks on every block!

[paulklenk]

All is quite well.

I've been bad recently. Skipping school and all. But, it wasn't entirely my fault, you see. I found were you keep all the thermos juice and well...hiccup!
