Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I hope death doesn't happen in threes because my Uncle Ralph passed away last nite. He was married to my Mother's sister. Our families are very close. Total of 17 kids between our families. He was a very stand up Uncle. He will be missed...Boxman

(Give my Mother a hug, Uncle Ralph, then find someone to play cribbage with you but, go easy on them)

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
