Happy New Year, Folks!

.
You may have read this quote by Bill Vaughn in magazines or on the internet, but it bears repeating ---

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”

May the New Year bring you good health, prosperity and new friends. And may all your problems leave with the old year.

Bill

Merry Christmas - My Gift To You

.
I wanted to give all of you a special gift for Christmas, and after much thought I decided to offer you this wonderful classic. I hope you find the peace that I enjoy whenever I hear this. I play this every day, especially when I need to de-stress. Try it.

May your Christmas be joyful, warm and full of good friends and family, and may the New Year be prosperous and find you in good health.

Bill, Robin & Criss

Just Wondering...

I read in the paper today that the Auburn City offices will open later and close earlier each day, cutting 10 hours a week off the schedules.

I'm bettin' that the folks who work in those offices aren't cutting their pay accordingly because they are probably on salary...a sneaky way to get a raise for working less :o)
