Letters from North
America
I’m trying to
lighten up the week
since we lost our dog,
Buddy, yesterday. Thanks
to all of you who have
written to me about your
similar experiences. We
will get over this and
get another one in short
order.
In the meantime, I
received the following
this morning and after
reading it, made me have
a chuckle, so I hope you
will enjoy it as well.
MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER
PEOPLE

affectionately refer to
each other as Fat Boy,
Dum dum head and Booger
Brains.
EATING OUT
· When the bill arrives,
Mike, Dave and John will
each throw in $20, even

change back.

items in the typical
woman’s bathroom is 337.
A man would not be able

ARGUMENTS

word in any argument.

after that is the
beginning of a new
argument.

mail.

for weddings and

favorite foods, secret
fears and hopes and
dreams.

of some short people
living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should
forget his mistakes.
There’s no use in two
people remembering the
same thing!
Someone once said that
marriage is a 50/50
proposition, but I
disagree. I think it
takes 110% of your
efforts to make one
work. My wife and I will
be married 38 years
tomorrow. It hasn’t been
easy nor do I expect it
to be so in the future.
What I will say is that
it has been an adventure
and has been fun. She is
the best part of me and
my best friend. We are
all on this planet doing
life together. I feel
that if you are
fortunate enough to find
someone to love and
someone who loves you in
return, then you should
count yourselves blessed
indeed. I feel she got
the short end of the
stick since I wouldn’t
live with me and I don’t
how she does it.
I told my youngest son
when he got married last
year that there are many
peaks and valleys to any
relationship. The trick
is to survive those and
be able to live through
them while making the
journey. This life is
what we make of it, and
we should try each day
to live the day to the
fullest. Thank you for
reading this and letting
me take a few weeks to
share my heartache about
our dog. We will come
out of this and move
forward. Next week will
be more positive, I
promise.
