Heather and Marcy hadn't seen each other in awhile, so they decided to meet for coffee.
The talk naturally got around to their respective love lives. Marcy confided that there really wasn't anyone special in her life. Heather, on the other hand, was beaming about the new man she had found.
"He's perfect. He's handsome, and last night when we went out to dinner, he said the four little words I've been waiting to hear a man say to me!"
"He said 'Will you marry me?'" Marcy asked.
Heather replied, "No. He said 'Put your money away.'"
And your cry-baby whiny opinion would be...?
“If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?”
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends."
- Martin Luther King
Before our daughter went off to college, our family took a vacation in Colorado, flying to Denver and renting a car.
We visited the Royal Gorge Bridge, which is more than 1000 feet above the Arkansas River.
Walking out onto the bridge, I noticed it swayed in the wind. Then a car went past us, and the wood-plank roadway moved beneath my feet. "I don't think I want to drive the car across this bridge," I finally said.
"What are you worried about?" our daughter replied. "It's a rental."
