This Week's Joke

Subject: Kennedy Airport Flight

A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good, so we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY NO!"

Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"

A passenger in coach yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"

Product of the Week- The Spork

M got these for her 30th birthday from her brother. We have not used them yet, but they seem pretty good. The weight of them is nothing, they are super thin and seem to be pretty durable (we let the kids play with them and they managed not to break them, that says a lot!).

Cost: No idea, we got them as a gift

Worth getting: Since we have not used them yet, it is hard to say. Though I would think so.

Colors: They have all colors (pictures of them are in the camping cook book that we got to go

with the sporks)

Sir Edmund Hillary- A Hero




It does not really matter if you are into mountain climbing or not, Sir Edmund Hillary should be considered a hero to all. One can not ignore the fact that he was the first in the world to climb Everest (with Tenzing Norgay on May 29, 1953). It is because of this that he was able to do so much good in the world.

He brought education to many people in the world who never would have received it, he highlighted the need for humanity in the world and condemed the lack of it in the climbing world, and he was just an all around nice guy.

He will be missed!
