Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm feeling like Shambles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just did my first copy and paste (below)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I'm starting this thread with no idea whether people can relax from all the combativeness I see in here, and just join me in a cup of cofffee or tea, a beer or just a cold bottle of water. The kettle is on and I hear the whistle going off. Why not sit for a minute, tell me what's going on in your mind, or what's happening in your life... how are your wife and kids? anything happen today that you want to talk about? I'll start it off..."

I was thinking that this thread must be getting close to its first anniversary, so I went back to check my opening post. When I started this thread, I had no idea whether anyone would want to stop by for a minute. I figured maybe we'd hit a 100 posts. When the New Year rolls around, this thread will be one of the many pleasures in my life that I will give thanks for. And when February 25th and
the Anniversary arrives, if we're still all here, I'l crack a bottle of champagne and toast you all!.

When I was Director of the Museum where I worked for over 30 years, our fiscal year ran from July 1st to June 30th. I used to hold a Fiscal New Year's Eve party on June 30th and we had a great time celebrating another year.

Why not February 25th?
