Well it was a little short of CCCares Members (just me) but I expected it with the weather and all.

But take heart CCC it did not stop me from having a good time... for one I ran into a few members of my Meetup Group (20 in total) who let me join them in the fun and frolic.  It was a blast.

The Headliner Ira Protor,  entertained us with gusto.   He just returned from entertaining the troops and I can understand why. 

I learned some new stuff during the night  I thought i would share


        When having to take a dump while driving,  don't speed,   it catches the cops attention 
        and leads to a very smelly encounter 

       Only Motivated People are Evil.. The lazy ones don't want to be bothered.  

       That roosters peck hens when mating

       And what it is like being fired from Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds

i have faith that once the weather breaks we will have more attendees and more fun to share

See you next time.

I was a little apprehensive about the weather and wanted to wait until today to see if the forecast was ominous or not.  .    But it seems that we will have some heavy rain and later snow.

So I decided to push forward and see what happens..    I did have to cancel the reservations because of the low RSVP but we will still be able to get seating.  

I intend to be there about
6:30 in Panera Bread near the window or right outside the Funny Bone.
Hope to see you there.

GREAT THOUGHTS DAN R.!

When I look in the mirror I see many things.

I see failures from the past...........
and
Numerous possibilities for my future.

Does the reflection excite me?  Yes sometimes it does.......but at other times it frightens me BIGTIME!

When I look at the glass as being half full..............I know I am in a positive frame of mind and am aware of the endless possibilities my future can bring. 

But it's those darn days that I see the glass as half empty...........it is those days that my mind plays games on me and I feel sad and blue.

So, how does one keep positive 24/7?  Is it possible to keep yourself surrounded by positive influences daily to achieve this goal?  Is there such a workplace that ONLY has positive coworkers? 

Is this the beginning of tomorrow's memories you ask?  Life is what we make of it, isn't it?

Mirrors and Memories
When we gaze into a mirror, what do we see? Does the reflection excite us? Is this a new vision? Does it reflect a new me? Is it telling me a new truth? Can it be a reflection of our future? Is this the beginning of tomorrow’s memories?
