Good Morning All, Jack, glad you were able to catch up with her, and I'm sure I'll get a phone call today...I always hear?? LOL!! You have a safe trip home!!! Todays story!! From the first of the year I have been on this trip, visiting with each and every family. Wondering just who would show up next, but thanks to you folks and Gawd, "The Letter"! I have come to the end of this visit and put my bags down for now, until the next party is called! I do have a help hotline for that next party though, and I know some of you might want to write this number down for the next time you get invited to your next party, it does help!! 1-800-HELPMESI............ LEAVING THE CITY OF REGRET I had not really planned on taking a trip this time of year, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. This trip was going to be unpleasant and I knew in advance that no real good would come of it. I'm talking about my annual "Guilt Trip." I got tickets to fly there on "WISHIHAD" airlines. It was an extremely short flight. I got my baggage, which I could not check. I chose to carry it myself all the way. It was weighted down with a thousand memories of what might have been. No one greeted me as I entered the terminal to the Regret City International Airport. I say international because people from all over the world come to this dismal town. As I checked into the Last Resort Hotel, I noticed that they would be hosting the year's most important event, the Annual Pity Party. I wasn't going to miss that great social occasion. Many of the towns leading citizens would be there. First, there would be the Done family, you know, Should Have, Would Have and Could Have. Then came the I Had family. You probably know ol' Wish and his clan. Of course, the Opportunities would be present, Missed and Lost. The biggest family would be the Yesterday's. There are far too many of them to count, but each one would have a very sad story to share. Then Shattered Dreams would surely make an appearance. And It's Their Fault would regale us with stories (excuses) about how things had failed in his life, and each story would be loudly applauded by Don't Blame Me and I Couldn't Help It. Well, to make a long story short, I went to this depressing party knowing that there would be no real benefit in doing so. And, as usual, I became very depressed. But as I thought about all of the stories of failures brought back from the past, it occurred to me that all of this trip and subsequent "pity party" could be cancelled by ME! I started to truly realize that I did not have to be there. I didn't have to be depressed. One thing kept going through my mind, I CAN'T CHANGE YESTERDAY, BUT I DO HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE TODAY A WONDERFUL DAY. I can be happy, joyous, fulfilled, encouraged, as well as encouraging. Knowing this, I left the City of Regret immediately and left no forwarding address. Am I sorry for mistakes I've made in the past? YES! But there is no physical way to undo them. So, if you're planning a trip back to the City of Regret, please cancel all your reservations now. Instead, take a trip to a place called, Starting Again. I liked it so much that I have now taken up permanent residence there. My neighbors, the I Forgive Myselfs and the New Starts are so very helpful. By the way, you don't have to carry around heavy baggage, because the load is lifted from your shoulders upon arrival. God bless you in finding this great town. If you can find it -- it's in your own heart -- please look me up. I live on ICANDOIT street. -- by Larry Harp Have as great of a day as you can have!!!! wb

My bike is not a Harley Superglide, It is a 1985 Limited Edition, 1200cc, fully decked, "GOLDWING"............. Thank you for your kind attention in clearing up this matter. wb (A grin a day, keeps the blue's away)

One last time, Here's a little something to grin about!! My parents just recently bought a computer a few weeks ago. They got a PC with Windows and a modem for the Internet included. They got hooked to the Internet, and my mom's greatest kick is to find those "Play free bingo" web sites where you can win a $1 per game. I received a phone call from my mother last evening, and she said that she had found a new bingo web site. She logged on as a new member and began to play. Her computer had crashed the browser program she was using, and she did not know this. When she called me up, she was in a panic. She told me that there was a message appearing on the screen saying "Internet Explorer has performed an illegal operation." She thought she was doing something illegal, and that she might be in trouble with the law, because she gave her real name at the web site. wb
