I had a brag this week. Seems the fine people of Fort Collins voted our cinnamon rolls the BEST IN FORT COLLINS!
~ Mark Thorsgood (as I'm known by Randy) |
Bob Reed asked Timmy to relay some information regarding the gifts we gave for Christmas. We serviced 292 kids this year, a record high. Bob said "Thanks for making it so damn easy!" Chris McDonald asked that everyone expedite their checks to Sertoma this month . . . apparently there is hardly enough money in the account for postage, so invoices were handed out at the meeting. You WILL get yours in the mail if you weren't there though, so don't worry.

Carl protests a fine for asking a dumb question. (You had to be there!)
|
While researching new possible locations for my business, I ran into Larry Stroud recently. (You know he's a realtor at RealTec, don't you??). We never see him at the meetings anymore because he bought a cabin in the mountains a while back, and spends every weekend there with grandkids and other family. He said to say "hi" to all the guys, so . . . . "HI!".
We're told Ed Caffrey recently had surgery . . . . something about a baby boy?
|
Yep. Rock's back.
|
Rock was back for a visit. He said he's just "happy to be (able to be) here and to be there". |
"A goodbye kiss"

|
A face only a mother could love!
|
Bob Keiss told us that he recently had an article about published in Western Mule Magazine. This came about as a result of his program he presented to us last June about his mule experiences in the Army.
He is awaiting the Pulitzer Prize, he tells us. (good luck with that!) |
Norm Rehme told us that, as he was driving from Loveland to Fort Collins, he saw a new, blue sign on a post at about 57th Street that says "In Memory of Larry Chaussee". So he had a brag in Larry's memory.
Chris McDonald says he's been having "brags collect up". He bragged (with a $100 check!) that he turned 51 years old, he's been married for 27 years, and his FIRST grandson is now 2 weeks old! Congratulations on all!!
Timmy Miller had a brag about Zach Wilson . . . Seems that Zach found out that he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died. So, he decided he would need a woman to enjoy it with.
One evening he went to a singles bar where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary man," he said as he walked up to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars."
Impressed, the woman went home with him that evening ,and three days later she became his stepmother.
Women are so much better at estate planning than men!
Carl reminded us that on February 8th, we'll be meeting at O'Dell's brewery. He suggests that we carpool, if possible. I suggest that the driver be a DD. Last time I went to O'Dell's with Carl, I got snookered!

Dick Ziporlin
|
John McLean had a brag on our new Social Chairman, Dick Ziporlin. John said that because Dick had been doing such a great job, "a bunch of the guys" got together and bought Dick a little something special.
Knowing how th' Zipster loves to go on cruises, everyone thought that this would be the perfect gift, so he could "blend in". |

Two guys are drinking in a bar.
One says, "Did you know that lions have sex
10 to 15 times a night?"
"Crap," says his friend, "and I just joined SERTOMA !!"

BEER BASH (or Foam on the Range)
On the Beer Bash and fellowship happy hour, Pitcher's sports bar will be the place we will do this. Each 3rd Thursday of the month, we'll meet from 5 to 7, and the prices are excellent, I'm told.
Those losers that don't drink should not hesitate to come and guzzle some soft drinks, as the fellowship is the important thing. There is also free pool, and possibly a discount on snacks in the future. The happy hour price of beer is $2.00, and house micro-brews are $3.00. (Updated 1/23/08)
