ok I 'm showing my ignorance but...what is "banana hammock" bathing suite (haven't been to a beach in eons where it's warm enough to take your polar fleece off...);)
BRRRR, poor Rowan. It might be cold here right now (and snowing heavily) but it'll be warm again soon. If you don't like the weather in New England just wait a minute and it'll change.
As for "banana hammock" that's what the boys (they may be in their thirties, but they will ALWAYS be boys) I work with call those Speedo bikini bathing suits that some men wear. Brave men (or foolish men, I suppose).

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

He has some hilarious stuff, like, "Trying to have sex at my age is like trying to shoot pool with a rope."

"Be NICE to a NERD ...............you just MIGHT end of working for them!"
..............author unknown
That reminds me of an e-mail that went around a while ago comparing what Michael Jordan made to what Bill Gates made. There were almost two pages of comparisons of what Jordan made, like, "He makes so much money it wouldn't be worth his while to stop and pick up a $100 bill he saw on the sidewalk" and other such sickening things. Then it said at the end that if Michael Jordan lived for a LOT longer than is humanly possible (I can't remember how many hundreds or thousands of years, it was a while ago and I am a blonde! ;) ) that he would still never make as much in his lifetime as Bill Gates did in one year (or day or whatever). Then it said, "Game over, NERD wins."
I wish I could remember the wording, because I LOVED that e-mail and sent it to everyone I knew! Of course, I always get upset when a person who doesn't teach or save or heal earns so much money and people who truly deserve it struggle to make ends meet. What about the :cop: :cop: :cop: :cop: and nurses and teachers who have to work two or even three jobs just to pay the bills?

...
While all that is completely true, please don't forget that there are also a large number of men out their who are abused by their partners and don't report it at all (either because of that male ego thing or because they are afraid that no one will believe them).
We have actually arrested almost as many women as men for domestic violence in the last few years, but there are no services available for the men in need because the programs are so geared towards the women in need. The domestic violence assistance program around here is called "Women's Crisis Services" and they have actually refused to help men who are in need.

And hang around in bars.

Hold your fire,
Keep it burning bright
Hold the flame 'til the dream ignites
A spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission
I hear their passionate music
Read the words that touch my heart
I gaze at their feverish pictures
The secrets that set them apart
When I feel the powerful visions
Their fire has made alive
I wish I had that instinct
I wish I had that drive
Spirits fly on dangerous missions
Imaginations on fire
Focused high on soaring ambitions
Consumed in a single desire
In the grip of a nameless possession
A slave to the drive of obsession
A spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission.
I watch their images flicker
Bringing light to a lifeless screen
I walk through their beautiful buildings
And I wish I had their dreams
But dreams don't need to have motion
To keep their spark alive
Obsession has to have action
Pride turns on the drive
It's cold comfort
To the ones without it
To know how they struggled
How they suffered about it
If their lives were exotic and strange
They would likely have gladly exchanged them
For something a little more plain
Maybe something a little more sane
We each pay a fabulous price
For our visions of paradise
But a spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission.

During the spring of 1940, the German Blitzkrieg exploded upon the armies of France and England in the West. The British Expeditionary Force and a good number of Frenchmen were bottled up on the Fench coast around the port of Dunkirk, or Dunquerque in the French spelling. An unplanned, frantic operation ensued to rescue as many of the men as possible. This plan was commanded from room that formely housed an elelctric generator, so it was given the name "Operation Dynamo." The British Admiralty did not hold much hope for Dynamo; they origanlly hoped to get out 45,000 of the trapped men.
When Operation Dynamo came to an end on 4 June, 1940, 338,286 troops had been rescued. After the operation, the man who led it, Admiral Sir Bertram Home Ramsay, said this:
"We can always count on glorious deeds, but less often on good direction and management."
Take that quote to work with you and see what your boss thinks of it. You might want to throw in Ramsay's follow on:
"This may sound as self praise, but you know that I count little for myself and think soley of the wider aspect of the job to be gained."

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
--Bertrand Russell True story about how people translate what they hear into what they think they heard:
As a teacher in a private school, I once had a conference with the mom of one of my 7th graders. I was careful to compliment the boy, who was fairly bright. I told mom this, and added that he had the ability to pick things up more rapidly than the majority of his classmates. I thought she would be pleased.
Next day, principal calls me in his office. Wants to know why the mom is so mad and threatening to pull the child from the school. I have no idea. He adds that it has something to do with with my class is holding her son back. I tell him exactly what I told her, he smiles and we both laugh. You have to be SO careful when you choose your words!

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight:
"When I was 17, my old man was so stupid I could hardly stand to have him around the house. When I reached 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in just 4 years."
My dad almost fell out of his chair backwards when that line was delivered. At the time, I was 15, and I didn't think it was that funny.

On another occasion, somebody pointed out to him a certain gentleman, and remarked how much humility that man possessed.
Churchill: That is because he has so much to be humble about.
