We had lunch with my two sisters to celebrate my birthday (belatedly) and afterward I got the enclosed pet (stuffed of course.) Am I crazy. Of course not!

My Pictures from City Art Show
Here are three of the pictures I had in the 2nd Disability Art Exhibit hosted by my department - Department on Disability. This year I had over 60 artworks, compared to 25 last year, and it was a huge success. We also had an opening ceremony this year with 100-150 in attendance.
It took a lot of work but it was worth it. 19 artists, all persons with disabilities, showed art works including oils, acrylics, water colors, mixed media and metal work. It was spectacular.
One point was to show the general public that persons with disabilites have abilities and talents just like anyone else, and the second point was to encourage and inspire persons with disabilites to stretch and show off their talents.

Atheist in the Woods
An atheist was walking through the woods.
"What majestic tree!"
"What powerful rivers!"
"What beautiful animals!"
He said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He saw a 7 foot grizzly bear charge toward him. He looked over shoulder again and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the atheist cried out "Oh my God!"
Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of th sky.
"You deny my existance for all these years, teach others that I don't exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I now to count you as a believer in God?"
The atheist looked directly into the light. "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a believer in God, but perhaps you could make the bear a believer in You."
"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, and brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke "Please God bless this food I am about to receive from You, Amen."

Old man and the bikers
A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three very large, leather clad bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's coffee and he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate and then took a seat at the counter.
Without a word of protest, the old man quietly got up, paid his bill and left the diner. Shortly after, one of the bikers said to the waitress, " Humph, not much of man was he?"
The waitress replied, " Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his big rig over three motorcycles."

Another joke- Class photo
The children had all been photographed and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be when you are all grown up and can say 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer' or ' That is Michael, he's a doctor.' "
A small voice from the back of the room rang out, " And there's the teacher, she's dead."

Joke for the day
A married couple rushed to the hospital because the woman was in labor. The doctor asked the couple, "I have invented a new machine that you might want to try. It takes some of the labor pains away from the mother and gives it to the father."
So, the couple decided that they would try this. The doctor hooked the machine up and put it on 10% of pain switched from the mother to the father and the husband said " I feel okay turn it up a lot more", so the doctor turned it up to 50% and the husband said " why don't you just put it all on me cause I'm not feeling a thing."
The doctor warned them "this much could kill you if you are not prepared" and the husband replied "I am ready". The doctor turned the machine up to 100 % but the husband didn't feel a thing so they want home happy with a pain free labor, but when they got home the mail man was dead on the front porch.
