Life isn't about how fast you run, or how high you climb; it's about how

Sung to the tune of the Beatles' song "Yesterday":


YESTERDAY


Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.


Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a milestone hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.


I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.


Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.


Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.

The great thing about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does.

If you want to hide sweet or chocolate bars so you can eat them after the kids are in bed, put them in the freezer in a paper bag labelled "Fish."

It's a proven fact that zipping up a small child's snowsuit will cause her to wet her pants. There is no known cure for this.

If you humiliate yourself, be consoled with the thought that you probably made someone else's day . . . maybe even their week.

Think of your humiliation as an act of charity.

After a certain age, if you say something outrageous, everyone will think it's cute. Take advantage of this.

If you are lavishly praised, enjoy the taste but don't swallow it whole.
