Happy New Year

 
My boss, who is on vacation, phoned me today. He said, "Is everything OK at the office?"
 
I said, "It's all under control. It's been a very busy day. I haven't stopped to take a break all day."
 
"Can you do me a favor," he asked.
 
I said, "Of course, what is it?"
 
 "Pick up the pace a little. I'm in the foursome behind you."



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Post Christmas

Rae in JFK
Went to see Ferdinand the bull with LJ, Joseph, Isabelle, Sergio, Raeanna and Jack. Very cute movie

At hospital with Rae, endocrinologist just checked her, spoke a little bit to the social worker, had a quick chat with Dr Shah - infectious specialist. He said make sure her bed at home has all clean bedding. Not clean linens is a breathing place for bacteria. The way she was oozing no way that the current sheets should stay there. Had a bowl of soup for lunch at 3
 
Boys have BB game tonight at St Stan sayreville.

Friday great gym workout

Went to hospital, Rae progressing
Gave Claudia the go ahead for Mommy room. Flipped mattress, told everyone to send out clothes for washing.
Lj ordered new pillows and bedding

Had lunch at d'talia it was Friday. Ran into a bunch of guys from MGCC including Dr Yaremczak.

Home for a bit
Back at hospital
Joey D keeps calling and asking Mommy's condition.

Lj, Isabelle, Vicky, Rose and Corrine all visited. 
Spoke to Dr Sharma and he says he is getting updates

She is back from MRI very groggy.

Geneen and I tried make her comfortable

Went home stopped for coffee
Isabelle won her game and she had a basket.

Fw: FW: A good 'un




Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 

 

An older golfer was hitting his ball from near a water hazard and his club fell into the water. 

 When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying? 

The golfer replied that his club had fallen into the water and he needed the club to have a chance to win the tournament and supplement his meager pension...

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden club.

"Is this your club?" the Lord asked.

The golfer replied, "No.

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver club.

"Is this your club?" the Lord asked.  
 
  
Again, the golfer replied, "No.

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron club. "Is this your club?" the Lord asked. 

The golfer replied, "Yes.

"The Lord was pleased with the golfer's honesty and gave him all three clubs to keep, and the golfer went home happy.

Sometime later, the golfer was walking with his wife along the water hazard, and she fell into the river. 

When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"


"Oh Lord, my woman has fallen into the water!


The Lord went down into the water and came up with Kate Upton.  "Is this your woman?" the Lord asked?



Kate Upton


"Yes," cried the golfer.

  
The Lord was furious. "You lied!  That is an untruth!"
                                                                      

The golfer replied, "Oh, forgive me Lord.  It is a misunderstanding.  You see, if I had said 'No' to Kate Upton, you would have come up with Jennifer Anniston.  Then if I said 'No' to her, you would have come up with my woman..  Had I then said 'Yes,' you would have given me all three.  And Lord, I am an old man not able to take care of all three women in a way that they deserve ... that's why I said 'Yes' to Kate Upton.



And God was pleased



The moral of this story is: 

          

If a golfer ever tells a lie, it is for a good and honorable reason and only out of consideration for others!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy New Year

For a club with big issues arguing over who can come into the different rooms makes little or no sense.  If we have rules just enforce them ( dress code, playing times, general decorum) fairly. If you want change then be willing to get involved. Its easy to throw snowballs from the cheap seats. The board also needs to be a bit more receptive to changing ideas this my way or the highway doesn't work. Over the past 13 years we have gone from full membership to too few members. When we got the tax rebate from Edison I was comfortable that we had the opportunity to have monetary stability. I was wrong. No sacred cows we need to look at every phase of our operation. 

The time has come to be make moves to save and nurture MGCC. You are either part of the solution or ............ As we approach 2018 think about it. I have enjoyed my time here but at my age I am not the future. We need to recruit new families that will take us forward. What we are currently doing doesn't seem to be working. 

Happy New Year to everyone

Christmas

Christmas Eve at the Lowry's never without drama. Lots of great food and seeing the family. Not sure but this maybe the last one for me and Rae. Driving home not an easy chore.

Christmas at Geneen's house was nice. Did a lot of napping. Really watched how much I ate still too much. All was too good. I am so lucky 7 grandkids each one so special

Tube spitting was too funny 23andme 

Presents are always nice. Bb8 and hover board seem like the big winners

Hoping Rae's leg gets better. Busy week want to see Ferdinand, have Caren's memorial, Rae Dr, BB and New year's. 

Made a reservation for two at d'talia for new years Eve at 530.

Saw Star Wars yesterday. The story has evolved to the story line from " Battle Star Galatica" which was a TV series starring Lorne Green. A group of humanoids staying one step ahead of the evil xylones.

Wawa

Graves at St James done, will get poinsettia for Mommy and Dad next week. 

Wawa flat bread toasted Ham and Swiss cheese outstanding. Not cheap but very good

So I stop at NJ DMV to pickup forms for permanent handicap plates. Just took my wallet and donuts in, they were overwhelmed. I now have my new plates and everything. They took my license and figured out everything, amazing when you are nice and have no expectations.

Back at Walmart waiting, amazing how much time is spent here.


Went to MGCC played gin made a few bucks. Doc is upset because our guys Christmas lunch is next Thursday. He had office hours. Joe reminded him that lunch at 1245, his hours start at 3 so he can do both. I will send him the address in the morning.

Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate
Hanukkah begins at sundown on Tuesday, December 12, and ends with nightfall on Wednesday, December 20. The candles are lit for eight consecutive nights starting on December 12 and continuing through December 19. In Judaism, each day begins at sundown the evening prior, which is why the first candle lighting takes place on the 12th and none takes place on the 20th.

Think we should have Taco Night - not sure that hamburger night every Wednesday is smart. Variety might be a thought: Taco Night, Italian Night, Indian Night 

First snow of the year is here so be careful but don't forget MGCC. Sunday Brunches, company parties, that special dinner 

Even if you are not a golf fan you will love this one..........

Thursday retro good work out.

Went to Fidelity Millburn had to move some stuff.

Lunch from sandwich station, porkroll Jack would be so jealous. Saw Mrs Figgeroratta there, Mommy is so jealous. I told her we probably will not see her tomorrow night at the pep rally for SJV basketball.

Looks like the funeral home is an hour away, not as bad as was predicted. I just don't drive well at night in areas I am not familiar with.
