Parting Comments
· Deep Thought of the Week: I’ve learned that warmth, kindness, and friendship are the most yearned for commodities in the world. The person who can provide them will never be lonely.
· Notable Quote: “Scars are like tattoos with better stories.”
· That’s Puny Department: A bear walks into a bar and says, ‘I’d like a beer, and ah…………………………………………………………………………….some of those peanuts.’ The bartender says, ‘Sure, but why the big paws?’”
· Did You Know Section: Probably no one ever looked less like a fine athlete than short, squat Yogi Berra when he first showed up at Yankee Stadium in 1947. Bench jockeys around the league jeered at his face---his gait---and his malapropisms. His throwing was wild. Once, firing to second base, he hit the pitcher in the chest. Another time he beaned the second-base umpire, who was standing ten feet from the bag. But Yogi worked endlessly to overcome his shortcomings as a catcher, spent extra hours in the batting cage, studied rival hitters until he knew their every weakness. The result---Yogi played on 14 pennant-winning teams---hit 358 homers---was voted the league’s Most Valuable Player three times---and set 18 World Series records.
