HAPPY CALLIVERSARY, BRIGHT!

Manager's Corner
Hi all..
Summer has finally arrived on the North American
continent and most people there are taking full
advantage of having a long hard winter being
behind them.
We're already into vacation season as we missed
JayJ and Kate for much of May and graduations and
weddings have also been noted during Milestones
month. And as Walt noted in his toast, we
celebrate sadder milestones recalling the warmth
of those, like Bright, who brought joy to our
community..
Through all the changes, our message board remained
very active as did chat thanks to relative newcomers
Amber, Fuzzy and Dusty.. - our "usual
suspects"..:)
In June we celebrate "Fictons and Fictions,
Scientific and Otherwise." We plan to discuss
other places our patrons and friends haunt, as well
as other Callahans fictons and such..
Besides Callahans, what's your next favorite
online community, watering hole or board?
And don't forget! July will mark our 10th Calliversary
online. Our Gathering in Cincinnati over the weekend
of July 19th will take on added significance because
of it. Not to mention that it's being hosted by our
Conference Manager, Carol, this year. Do be sure to
thank her when you see her..:)
We hope to see you there..:)

Joke of The Month
My husband, not happy with my mood swings,
bought me a mood ring the other day so he
would be able to monitor my moods.
When I'm in a good mood it turns green.
When I'm in a bad mood it leaves a big
red mark on his forehead.

Pun of the Month
From Our Website
Mary Poppins was traveling one evening when the
winds were preposterously high. She fetched up
in the portico of the Savoy Hotel and as she'd
gotten tired of being pummeled by the gusts she
decided to check in for the night.
Feeling a mite peckish, she asked the desk clerk
if the restaurant was still open. He regretfully
replied that due to the late hour, it was not,
and that room service had shut down for the night.
Upon observing her sigh of resignation, he offered
to go and prepare something himself. Mary
graciously thanked him and told him that simply
anything would do, she was starved.
A few moments after she was shown the room, he
knocked at the door and wheeled in a room service
cart with a large plate of fresh, chopped cauliflower
and hot cheese sticks. He apologized for this being
all he could find, but Mary thanked him and tucked
in with gusto.
The next morning, Mary decided to indulge in room
service before she checked out. She ordered scrambled
eggs, bacon and toast. But Mary didn't enjoy her
breakfast very much, the eggs were too runny.
As she checked out, the day manager recognized such
a famous person as Mary Poppins, and asked her to fill
out a comment card. When she returned it, the manager
read her comments:
"Super cauliflower/cheese sticks, eggs were quite atrocious"
Poem of the Month -
"The Medal"
You get the Medal
If the doing kills you;
If the planners are idiots
And you go anyway,
If the enemy is smart
And you go, anyhow,
If the weather is wrong
And you go, regardless,
If it's hopeless
And you reach beyond hope.
That's what the Medal is for;
You don't have to die,
But it saves arguing.
- Cortland KA5S May 20, 2003
Closing Quote - courtesy Sue (SUEMO)
"The three hardest tasks in the world are neither
physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but
moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the
excluded, and to say, 'I was wrong.'"
– Sydney J. Harris
