Refuge in humor!
#1
If it weren't for the following story I probably wouldn't even post the fact that we had a fire last week that completely destroyed my home and yes all of my four wheelers. But there is a funny side to everything and this being no exception I thought I'd share it with my friends here on the forum
I find refuge in humor and I wasn't disappointed this time. Thursday morning I got up early and went to the anti-house to sift through the ashes. The first thing I wanted to look for was the keys to my camper.(figured I might need them) I didn't find any keys but the hutch where I kept them was still there, some of it. I pulled one of the drawers out and found something I didn't expect. Years ago maybe in the late 50's early sixties my grandparents were given a gag gift which was later given to me. It's a small box which reads "In case of Emergeny...."
What is in the box is a crochet thing thats made to fit a mans genitalia. I hadn't seen this thing in probably 9 years since we bought this house. I looked at it and thought to myself "Emergency..hmmm" I opened it up and there this thing was not even wet. I took it out of the box, holding it my hand as I looked around me at the total devastation that was once my beutiful home. I looked up at the sky(standing in the dining room I might add) and said "God is this all I get? The clothes on my back and my ball warmer?" I started to laugh and thought "Your doing this to me on purpose aren't you".
Well anyway as it turns out there was a lot more important things saved than that but if I had it to do all over I would have droped my pants right were I stood and put the damn thing on!

Sorry to hear about your fire and the loss of most of your possesions. It's always nice to hear when someone "chooses" to keep up a good attitude.
As Charles Swindoll once said "I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you.... We are in charge of attitudes."

PS i hope the warmer was the right size?

Tom,
Mark is in San Fransico, and won't get back till late friday night. I can not find his home number and we have a change in plans. I need him to meet us somewhere else to ride Saturday morning. If you have his Home # e-mail me so I can call Elise tomorrow night and let her know the new plans. Sorry you can't make it this week end. Maybe when you things straightened out, you will ride again.
Thanks,
Greg

Sorry to hear of your loss. I am, however, hoping that you had sufficient insurance?
Anyway, remember, it is what happens in you, not to you; and it's all just stuff, thank the Lord nobody was injured and all you have to replace is things, and not people.
