Did You Hear About When I Lost My Pocket Knife?

Archie Brown recently lost his pocket knife and was devastated because he had carried it for more than thirty years. It was a Buck Brand with a wood handle, single locking blade. Arch felt like he was helpless, since he had used the knife for all sorts of jobs.

Archie went to the local department store to find a replacement. But he was not satisfied with the selection, so he went online to see what he could find. He went to KillerBlade.com and was amazed at the wide range of their stock. They have folding knives, hunting knives, throwing knives and even machetes.

They offer wonderful prices and great customer service, as well as top quality knives and excellent brand names. Archie is hoping that soon his new knife will arrive and restore the world to the proper order.

Did You Hear About Our Cruise Stop in San Juan?

The first stop of the Carnival Victory, the boat Archie and Ronda Brown took for their recent cruise, was San Juan, Puerto Rico. They debarked, taking the boys into town. Archie had been to San Juan before, so he knew two things to do that would please the boys. First they went to the Castillo de Crostobal, a huge castle and fort that overlooks the sea. After the boys finished exploring the place, the Browns took them to the square where they caught a horse drawn carriage for a ride through the city. It was a nice visit.

Did You Hear About Our Early Flight to Miami?

The cruise that Archie and Ronda Brown took, along with their 7 & 8 year old grandsons, set sail from Miami. The Brown's had to catch a plane from Houston at 6 am in order to get to Miami in time to catch the boat. That meant they had to get up at four, get dressed and drive an hour to the airport. But it was worth it!

Did You Hear About Teresa Chaulk?

Archie Brown was reading a recent web release about a lady who was named to be superintendent of a school district in Wyoming. The release was by Capella University. They were very proud of the fact that the lady, Teresa Chaulk, is a part of one of Capella's online degree programs. Chaulk is pursuing a PhD and is an example of the kind of training that is available through the completely online institution. The quality of the education offered, as well as the convenience of receiving the education via one's computer allows folks like Teresa Chaulk to maintain a career and advance her skills at the same time!

Did You Hear About My Questions About the Next President?

Archie Brown has some questions about who will be his next president. Here are some of his observations and wonderings:

If Hillary wins the nomination, and I believe she will, it will be an interesting November. Nearly fifty percent of voters will never vote for her, seeing her as the epitome of evil.

I am not at all sure who will be the Rep. nominee. I tend to think it will be the candidate with the most money, Mitt Romney. I do not see much appeal for him among the base of the party, nor for McCain or Rudy. So the election will hinge on the turn out of voters. Will Republicans hold their nose and vote for a nominee they don't care for just to keep Hillary out?

Did You Hear About Blood Donations?

Archie Brown has been a blood donor for many years. It began when he was nineteen, coaching a teenage league baseball team in his home town. One of the thirteen year old boys contracted leukemia and transfusions. Archie took part in the local drive to collect blood for Jimmy.

He found out then that giving blood is easy and a vital gift to people in anxious moments. He has given at least four times a year for the past forty years. He is going again today, right in the middle of the holiday season. Archie knows that the need for blood is high during this time and the collection is slow because many are sidetracked by the Christmas spirit. Archie feels that it is all the more important for him to give in those times!

Did You Hear About the Little Boy's Response?

Archie Brown was sitting in his easy chair, channel surfing. He was looking for something his grandkids might like to watch on Christmas Eve morning. The six year old was playing with some cars on the floor, the eight year old was reading and the 11 year old was rubbing the sleep from her eyes. When the menu on the tv displayed the name of a movie, "Heidi", Archie spoke the word.

Without looking up, the six year old replied, "Hello."

Archie had to laugh.
