I was at the INCOSE International Workshop, and this very official lady gave a very good presentation. At the end, she gave her contact information, and her email address was @aol.com. What a blast from the past!
For many years, I kept a family diary devoted to good news and funny stories about my family while the girls were growing up. I stopped a few years ago. I am thinking of starting it up again because I have noticed that a lot of good and funny things are happening to my wife and I.

Jokester
While taking my evening walks, I often see the community watch guys driving around. There is one old guy who always stops to talk, and I always ask him to tell me a joke. He has the corniest jokes. Today, he asked, "Do you know the leading cause of dry skin?" Wait for it....
Sleeve
We have a water dispenser in the fridge on the left-hand side just inside the door. Today, I was reaching into the fridge for the milk jug for my coffee at a strange angle, and I pressed the water dispenser. The water came pouring out and soaked the sleeve of my sweater.
Dark
Both Barb and I missed all the announcements about Daylight Savings Time. I was up late and noticed something wrong with my phone and my watch, but I was too tired to figure out what the problem was. We were shocked when Barb's alarm went off on Sunday morning at 7:45 a.m., and it was completely dark.
Belt Loop
I drink a lot of coffee, Diet Coke, and ice water all day, so I have to go pee a lot, and sometimes, I almost don't get to the bathroom. Today, I was walking into the bathroom, and my belt loop got caught in the door knob. I was stopped in my tracks. It took me quite a while to get unhooked because my belt loop was wrapped around the door knob so severely. But I was lucky I didn't have to go that bad, and I didn't pee my pants.
Buckwheat
Barb's friend, Jeannie, the beekeeper, gave a talk to the Science and Technology Club today. She talked all about honey bees and all the different types of honey. She mentioned that there is medicinal honey called buckwheat honey, an antibiotic. She said here are some pictures of an infected cyst before and after putting buckwheat honey on it. She said the man in this picture is in the audience but doesn't want to be pointed out. It was me. Barb thought I should have stood up and screamed it was me.
