What a great success! On behalf of Scott and Ed, thanks to all for attending…we had over 100 people all to d! The folks at Star of Hope were very grateful for the food and drinks we did not consume.

Next year, we’re contemplating a fish fry, which will, of course, necessitate going offshore fishing the week before. Anybody up for going out on a party boat, let us know!

Got a few other posts up that were in the queue…be sure to try your hand at the latest Stinky Pinky…Roy got the one that had stumped everyone for over two weeks.

Libby, my new neighbor, gave me her spare copy of David McCullough’s biography of John Adams. Haven’t had a chance to get too far into it, but have already come across two quotes that I have added to my quotes page:


Upon common theaters, indeed, the applause of the audience is of more importance to the actors than their own approbation. But upon the stage of life, while conscience claps, let the world hiss! On the contrary if conscience disapproves, the loudest applauses of the world are of little value.

Ambition is one of the most ungovernable passions of the human heart. The love of power is insatiable and uncontrollable….There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.

Thanks, Libby!
