Quote
May
the Irish hills caress you.
May
her lakes and rivers bless you.
May
the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May
the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
May
there always be work for your hands to do,
May
your purse always hold a coin or two.
May
the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May
a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May
the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with
gladness to cheer you.

Tidbits
Scientists
claim that the most complicated and mysterious thing in the universe
is the human brain. Scientists know more about stars exploding
billions of light years away than they know about the brain.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322
BC) believed that the center of thought was the heart and that the
brain's function was merely to cool the heart. It was an early Greek
physician, Alcmaeon of Croton (c. 6th century B.C.), who was the
first to claim that the brain, not the heart, is the central organ of
sensation and thought.

Rambling Thoughts
I had
a great birthday yesterday. Started the day with home cooked
breakfast with Andy and family, also had lunch with friends, went to
dinner with other friends. Andy, his brother-in-law and I moved the
trailer from Phx to Flag with no problem. Great conversation and
fantastic food. Happy camper.
Washed
linens, rotated the mattress, and started getting ready for spring.
Kinda weird to just rotate new mattress instead of flipping, but
that's what the guy said, since it's a different kind of mattress.
Read
an article about Jeffco Schools. The district will use a snow day on
Mar. 19 for the CEA Day of Action at the state capitol as teachers
and others rally to raise salaries, have more school funding, and
improve the schools of Colorado. Seems too many teachers had
requested leave and the district ran out of subs for that day. Good
luck to all CO teachers.
Daily
updates from Focus on our upcoming trip. The ship is taking the
necessary precautions for the Coronavirus. Let's hope it doesn't
bother us on our upcoming trip. Nothing to do but wait and see what
happens.
