IT’S OFFICIAL!

I am now a participant in good standing at Avenidas.  My days are, as requested, Mondays and Fridays.  And apparently my request to meet someone with whom I can have a conversation, was being honored.  As a result,  an unusual happening occurred last Friday at lunch.  I was taken to a table with four other fellows, Tom, Frank, Don and Don.  I made the third Don.  I donno, this could get confusing, don it.

I met with a physical therapist who said he would work with me to help my balance.  Now my balance isn’t bad; it’s dreadful!

Fun -

Heard on a Southwest flight. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing.. If you can light 'em, you can smoke 'em."

A plane was taking off from Durban Airport . After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop from Durban to Cape Town , The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight.. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOODNESS!" Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier.  While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger then yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"

  1. How fun! Maybe you will all end up with cool nicknames, like Don Juan, Donatello, or MastoDon!
