Extra Points

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Morning is nature's way of saying: 
Live life one more time, 
make a difference, 
touch one heart, 
encourage one mind 
and inspire one soul. 
          Ash Sweeney 




It takes courage
to be kind.
   Maya Angelou




Let us remember,
as it soars above,
The Osprey, a bird
of strength, no dove!
A creature of nature,
a machine of might,
Both take to the air in
their own unique flight. 
Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey

For small creatures 
such as we the vastness is 
bearable only through love.
         Carl Sagan




You should never 
attribute to malice that 
which is adequately 
explained by stupidity.  
         Hanlon's razor
