Mario, For once, I read the APP, on the day it was published! I'm always behind, but I get enough news here, that when I read the paper, I sometime, get another take on someone else's reading. Boola Boola! My uncle Joe, who fought at the Battle of the Bulge, used to sing that song all day for us! He used to sing the songs, from the Jeanette McDonald films, ALL parts, until we had tears rolling down our faces, from laughing. On the song, Boola Boola, those were the only words, he knew! Imagine him, singing THAT, all day!
For those who think me crazy, I think it's "genetic", in my family! They were such an "eccentric" bunch of people! My Grandma, was very "dramatic"! A college educated "Southern Belle", to the Max! You haven't seen "Steel Magnolias", until you saw them! Very genteel, but FIRM! She ran EVERYTHING, with a steel hand, in a cotton glove! There ARE no "dumb" southern women, from my vantage point! On the school principal, I admire him, for getting off to a good start. Just showing the kids, that "I care and I give a damn", speaks volumes! I've seen others try to do the same, but the system is geared to "beat" you down! I will pray for the success of a genuinely naive man, but since he comes from the valleys of California, he just might do it! As far as the board, just when I thought they were all getting along, I find that Frank D, is all alone. It must be because he is on the side for right! Okay, going to go back to your link and watch Boola Boola! Thanks Mario, I need a lift! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > In a message dated 11/28/2007 7:18:53 P.M.
