Just a little off this post... it is 100 today!!

I feel your pain. It is close to 90° here, but the A/C unit for my area of the bank ran out of freon this afternoon, so we have a sauna in our part of the building. Good thing it's almost time to go home, and tomorrow is casual Friday.

While we are going down Memory Lane, I would like to salute Bob Hope. I always enjoyed the Christmas Specials and the Road movies are some of my favorites. Happy 100th Birthday to Him!!

Bob Hope at 75: "Only the other day my doctor told me I had the heart of a 30-year-old."

Punch line due any second.

"I want to thank the guy in Houston who donated it."

At 83: "Actually, I feel that I've aged like a bottle of fine wine."

Wait for it.

"Of course, my cork is a little loose."

72 lovely degrees today. And no snow

You're exactly where I was 16 years ago this July. Horribly hot weather, storms that knocked out power for 5 days, and being 9 months pregnant. It wasn't a good mix, but well worth it.

Warm and cozy, the last day of school and the only question is how soon I can get away from the office and into the sun or pool.

I'll take heat over cold any day and today should be in the lower 100s.

Well, after 2 months of chilly rain, we finally have some sun in the NE corridor! I hope it hits
80 degrees! And to think... I have to be on the road later to visit a faraway branch!

We are dealing with strong winds today....executive hair pieces are all over the place....

Okay, it is now Friday and you've been talking about the weather, so I need to vent! Right before I moved up to Billings, Montana from Denver, I heard from everyone about how cold it is up here. Our official high yesterday was 94 degrees and I'm not looking forward to July.

In Michigan we are still waiting for summer to start, even though it officially started last weekend. It has been nice during the day, highs around 70, but every afternoon about 5:00 it rains (and more this weekend)..man our grass is getting tall..!! I was just happy to get through the Indy 500 last weekend without getting rained on.

But ya know today is Friday & Payday, who's complainin'?

Last night on the news they said that during the last week we had sunshine 11% out of all possible hours of daylight. It's been a very gray week. Today there is some sun, more clouds than blue but it's in the low 70s and hopefully it will last long enough to go for a walk at lunch. I could use some fresh air to get through the afternoon. Sunshine is a beautiful thing, I appreciate it when we have it

"That is what I'd really love to be."

I think it was "...truly love to be e e "

"I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony..."

My mother says that no matter what I was doing (playing, crying, sleeping, etc.) I would run to the TV to listen and sing along with this one! I've always liked commercials more than shows!

When I was a kid, I heard a radio DJ play the Oscar Meyer jingle, except it went like this:

My bologna has a first name....it's C-O-W, Cow.
My bologna has a second name...it's L-I-P-S, lips.
Oh, I love to eat it everyday, and if you ask me "why?", I'll say:
"'cause Oscar Mayer has a way of getting by the FDA."

Lestie, re-live a moment of your youth.

OK, it is warm and sunny in beautiful South Carolina, but I have a funny story to tell on Friday Frivolity.

I was talking to my son on-line last night and got a kick out of this...after almost four years of trying to get a break in his acting career, he finally got THE CALL to shoot a pilot for his group's own sketch comedy show on cable. He was totally blown away last week when they wrapped up production and he got paid $8600, the most money he's seen since arriving in LA. He proudly took it to the bank so he could pay managers, agents, attorneys, the landlord, his girlfriend for money he's borrowed (I think mom will have to wait a little longer )- and you guessed it - they put a non-local (NY) large deposit exception hold on his check. He said he could get $4900 in five days and the remainder of $3600 on the 11th day. Imagine that? I gave him a quick course on Reg CC and now I think he understands what I do at the bank a little better. Ain't that a kicker?

LOL Ann, at least it wasn't a check from Nigeria or somewhere. That would really have taken some explaining on your part when they sent it out for collection

We had sunshine for most of all possible hours of daylight yesterday...that would be OVER 23 darned hours!!!! June 21st we'll be at 24 hours of daylight. I can't sleep again til September.

My Mom bought a new Envoy SUV and paid cash for it, she started complaining to me about all the information the Dealer wanted for a form they had to file with the government. "Why the heck do they want to know what our occupations are? It's none of their business" I explained, "Mom, this is what I do everyday, This is not the dealer's fault, it's the law."
Then she said, "When we took the same amount of cash out of the bank, they didn't ask all of those questions. Then they called us and wanted all kinds of information."
"But Mom, you don't understand.."

Amen to that..I grew up on the Bob Hope Christmas Specials and could not wait for him to introduce the All American Football teams. I was a big Bob fan and a big college football fan. Unfortunately, I was so broke in college that when he filmed a special at our campus, I could not afford to go.

Did everyone see the quote in the ABA Newsbytes this morning? Bob Hope said he was so old that they'd canceled his blood type. He's still funny! Corny, yes, but funny.
