Gotrocks: Although Candidate may disagree (likely not though), I'm glad you have decided to become one of the hockey players. You made my near death experience quasi-enjoyable.

I am good with J.L. although his new avatar gives a whole new meaning to his "Gotrocks" name. He/she seems like a passionate person just like many of the other folks on this board I would just like to find out where they are coming from on some things. Maybe you can invite him/her, I tried.

Thought this was fitting. quote: TWO GLASSES OF WINE
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine theory...
A professor stood before his philosophy class with some items on his desk in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "YES."
The professor then produced two glasses of wine from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things; your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions; things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else; the small stuff.
If you put the sand into the jar first", he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the good things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. Do one more run down the ski slope.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first; the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the wine represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of glasses of wine with a friend."
"If you were the Governor of any other state, you would be a disgrace to that state."

Somebody get Fan into Rush Limbaugh's rehab hospital. The back medication has made him sentimental.

No, I think it is the electric acupuncture that I've been getting. It has really brought out my good inner chi.

I meant absolutely no offense. It's just that you are so very young. Do you know who Sam Snead was?

I think the 80's & 90's were on the senior's tour. Fan-Are you going to the St. Pats party on Friday or is your back still an issue?
Merry New Year!
