Opening Toast

I miss Bright.
As Jimmy Durante used to say to Mrs. Calabash:
HAPPY CALLIVERSARY, BRIGHT!
May 10, 1999

Wherever you are....

*** Smash! ***

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
