I have one, done in caligrahy, hanging in my kitchen! It has been the theme of my life, in many stages. When we move to TV it will be in that kitchen too ....

Anything that can go wrong, will, when he is out of town!

Thanks for the smile!

•All things are possible...except skiing through a revolving door.

•The only perfect science is hind-sight.

•Any instrument when dropped will roll into the least accessible corner.

Just one you think you have mastered the roundabouts-- here come the snowbirds again.

The only time the Villages webcams do not work is when the very scantily clad Swedish models are here checking out the Villages for their parents' new digs.

You are a huge NASCAR fan but the only time that NASCAR drivers visit the Villages is during Republican rallies. That's when you have very little chance of meeting them unless you are a close friend of the Morse family.

Just when you are finally getting ready to buy in the Villages, Andrew D. Blechman writes another version of Leisureville.

Just when you are finally getting ready to buy in the Villages, Andrew D. Blechman writes another version of Leisureville.I have comments I could present on what I just read about Blechman's Leisureville from the reviews on his website, but I'll only address one of the comments made as quoted here by a reviewer:
"Blechman enters The Villages ... an escapist community where seniors binge drink and experience their share of Viagra-fueled hook-ups." — The Cleveland Plain Dealer (http://www.cleveland.com/books/index.ssf/2009/09/ms_hempel_chronicles_from_sara.html)
I've been living in TV for a total of nearly 10 months so far, and if our hook-ups are Viagra fueled, why haven't I gotten even one single rise out of living here yet?

Maybe your blue pills are really M&Ms.

Maybe your blue pills are really M&Ms.Sorry, but I've never taken blue pills or even Calice and I don't even have M&M's very often either. {Oh do I have a smiley I could use here, but I'd probably get in trouble with Admin if I did} :evil6:

[Golfer in Sanibel]

Some good ones. Here are some others;

The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors.

If it ain't broke, try changing your grip.

Golfers who claim they don't cheat also lie.

Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents luck.

It is surprisingly easy to hole a fifty foot putt ......for an 8.

I can relate to this. Three water incidents between 10;00 and midnight while he was away.

Wait....I'm not that familiar with Florida...but isn't it a state law...no, maybe it's federal...All water accidents MUST occur after 10:00 pm?

I know in some places it also has to be on Friday night.
