I really like this one - - -

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn’t. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.

Quotes from Joe Paterno aka JoPa

• Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things.
• Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.
• Its the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the one on the back.
• The name on the front of the jersey is what really matters, not the name on the back.
• Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.
• Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good

You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality.

Ms Amber! It's good to have you here

I grew up in Norfolk ... just a quick hop over the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (one of the few bridges I actually like.) Lots of grade school trips to Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. Big fan of the Colonial Parkway (and the very cool design of the bridges and overpasses) Dad was based at NOB Norfolk on the USS Surabachi (spelling may be off) , then worked at Ford's Norfolk Assembly Plant before being transferred to the Chicago area.

oh drew got the slack job a few years back, he left the AT field (fixing f18 radars) and going out to sea for a different job that doesn't have sea duty. i always tell people thank you when they say that. but when his most "adventurous" work is 3 weeks in germany for digital war games and i have friends over in the sandbox i remember how lucky i am. this week drew is in Rhode Island as the only enlisted person in a war college set of war games w/ a bunch of officers as hes the subject specialist. on the flip side my old roomate and dear friend is in yuma preparing w/ her bomb dog to go to Afghanistan. so yup drew is navy. but there are people in way more intense fields. im not by any means down playing what drew does, or the importance of it. but i also know that i sat last night crying while looking at a pic of a soldier returning home from the back of a plane, with a flag over him, and an honor guard at attention honoring him. those are the guys i thank. but thank you.

I thank all who serve because at any time they may be in harms way and have the same fate. I pray that none of them do.
