STEVE's card accompanying the contribution read...Darling Susan...Happy Birthday! Thank you for your patience and practical approach to life and "Service Above Self." The "Devlyn" made me do this!!

PERHAPS INTERESTED in some "Laws for Life & Work" from BOB FEUER's e-mail: (1) Murphy's First Law for Wives: If you ask your spouse to pick up five items at the store and then add one more as an afterthought, he will forget two of the first five; (2) Salary Axiom: The pay raise is just large enough to increase your taxes and just small enough to have no effect on your take-home pay; (3) Miller's Law of Insurance: Insurance covers everything except what happens; (4) Kauffman's Paradox of the Corporation: The less important you are to the corporation, the more your tardiness or absence is noticed; and (5) Lampner's Law of Employment: When leaving work late, you will go unnoticed, when you leave work early, you will meet the boss in the parking lot. Perhaps more in future "Ripples" when space permits.
