QUOTE from the March Guideposts Magazine submitted by G.R. Jerabek of Arizona: ""Worry clutters up tomorrow's opportunities with yesterday's troubles."
What I LEARNED today: I learned this little tidbit of football history from a book I have entitled "MINDBLOWERS - A Look Back at HISTORY That Will Change the Way You Look at the World Today"
The common "huddle" seen on playing fields every weekend during football season had its start at Washington D.C.'s Gallaudet's all-deaf football team, they were called the Bisons. When playing they of course used sign language to communicate.
Legend has it that on a windy fall day in 1894 the Gallaudet football team was losing badly. Quarterback Paul Hubbard somehow suspected that someone on the opposing team knew sign language and was spying on the Gallaudet players and their sign language open-air discussions. That's when Hubbard pulled his teammates into a huddle, and the rest is history.
A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: The seeds we sow today determine the kind of fruit we'll reap tomorrow.
HUMOR for today: WIFE VS. HUSBAND: A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
