Well I guess I'm in good company.
Sometimes it is hard to see if one came close to meeting goals that one set for themselves.
Those goals are often subject to change as a person grows.
Of course this is only my opinion.

Now that's wisdom.

Sept. 16 is National POW/MIA Recognition Day

Also: 58,000 dead and missing in Vietnam, listed on The Wall , in Washington, D.C.

I shudder to think of what may have happened to those MIA who were never freed or escaped or rescued.

I don't know much about anything anymore.
I spent almost 50 years trying to motivate and guide young people.
Some would say "What good were you? Just a band director/music teacher".
I probably wasn't worth much compared to several other fields but IMHO if
I could get one kid a year to change direction I felt that I had done something worthwhile.
When many youngsters are asked what their goals are they either have none or have
some that are completely unrealizable [?].
Probably should remove this.

There is a lot more to learn in school than what the books teach you, such as how to critically think, how to behave, honesty, and how to treat your fellow man. Roger, the teachers I remember most from my high schools days were probably very much like you. They were strict but fair and most things they said made a lot of sense when it was explained. Our high school in the early to mid 60's had some special teachers, including one music teacher, a drafting teacher, a shop teacher, an English and history teacher that I still remember there names. None were Einstein, but they knew how to reach kids and had a lot of common sense. I had and still have a lot of respect for them even though they are long gone. I don't think the kids today have many teachers they can look up to as role models.

Damn, Mrs. Baker would really be upset with that one.

Well, living does lead to death for most people.
Also don't forget, where ever you go, there you are.

Maybe she only eats the topping on pizzas and likes only open-face sandwiches.

You never dated a cheerleader? They all have their lower teeth removed (contractual requirement.)

Actual complaints from Brits on holiday (Part 1)

[rogruth]

Although not Brits, I think I know some of those complainers.

Now bring on part 2.

My list has the sand colour complaint the other way around, "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."
