Good bye Summer, hello Autumn, look out, here comes Old Man Winter. So, get out your boots, and snow shovels, or get your tickets for a trip South. Not sure if the Snowbirds are the wimps, or the smart ones, you decide.
First, something to think about:
I made myself a snowball,
As perfect as could be,
I thought I’d keep it as a pet,
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas,
And a pillow for it’s head,
Then last night it ran away,
But first – it wet the bed.

A personal note: I went to the Lettermen concert at Lincoln Way North early September, and it was excellent. Their voices were good, song selection was a mix of their classics, and current songs. They also had excellent interaction with the audience. I thought some of the ladies they serenaded were going to faint.

The Letterman Christmas Concert
Arcada Theater in St Charles
The concert will start at 5:00PM
We will probably go to dinner before at a restaurant down the street
You can park at the restaurant and walk to the Theater
Tom (708-227-8544) is coordinating this event
The cost $56.00 dollars for the performance, dinner not included, and we will be sitting in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th row of the balcony.
Tom has reserved 36 seats together
Make out a check to Tom, he must have the money by Nov 1st
As with the Bennett Curtis event, first come, first served, so be prompt.
A personal note: I went to the Lettermen concert at Lincoln Way North early September, and it was excellent. Their voices were good, song selection was a mix of their classics, and current songs. They also had excellent interaction with the audience. I thought some of the ladies they serenaded were going to faint.

Something to think about:
TEN (10) THINGS I KNOW ABOUT YOU
1) You are reading this.
2) You are human.
3) You can't say the letter ''P'' without separating your lips.
4) You just attempted to do it.
6) You are laughing at yourself.
7) You have a smile on your face and you skipped No. 5.
8) You just checked to see if there is a No. 5.
9) You laugh at this because you are a fun loving person, and everyone does it.
10) You are probably going to email, or show this to others to see who else falls for it.
Have a great Day. Laugh, and then Laugh and sing "It's a Beautiful Day" even if it's not.
"Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many."
