Weekly Joke – A Woman and A Hairdresser

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: 

"Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old their flight attendants are ugly,  and they're Always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope." 

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome . 

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. 
And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!" 

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the pope." 

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. 
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me." 

"Oh, really!  What'd he say?"

He said: "Who messed up your hair?"

Wednesday Series 6 – Why Men Don’t Live As Long As Women

All I wanna know is, HOW?

Happy Father’s Day To All Dads

Happy Father’s Day to my Papa, Coby’s Dad, and all Dad’s including our spiritual Fathers, the Priests and Father Miguel Marie.

Our model is St. Joseph! 

I always strive to be a perfect Father to my children, but then I realized, we can never be perfect! So as long as I do my daily duties, spiritually; thru my own example in prayers, respect and love my dear wife, and leading my family to holiness. Or just simply; help changing diapers, spend quality times with each of my daughters, emptying garbage cans, emptying the dishwasher, work hard, etc, etc . . . as long as I do these things . . . and pray that our Heavenly Father will help me to always be a good Father according to His will . . . I hope that counts as striving to be a perfect Father!

Happy Father’s day to all Dads!

Hot, Hot, Hot

Feeling hot, hot, hot! It hit 93⁰ in Hoover, Alabama today (that would be 34⁰C for you Canadian and European) It just means more time for us to spend in the  pool, and boy, . . . did we spent time in the pool . . . we were in there for several hours. From the photos, you can see the heat didn’t really bother the girls at all today.

Everyone swam today except for Christiana. She will have her turn soon enough.

Supposed to be even hotter tomorrow!

 

Weekly Joke – An Amish Farmer

An Amish farmer, walking through his field, notices a man drinking from his pond, with his hand.

The Amish man shouts: "Trink das Wasser nicht. Die Kuhen haben dahin gesheissen." Which means:
"Don't drink the water, the cows have sh!t in it."

The man shouts back: "I'm a Muslim, I do not understand your gibberish... Speak English, infidel!"

The Amish man calmly says: "Use two hands, and you'll get more!"

What You Can Do With An iPhone – Part 5

Since the new iPhone 3G S is coming out this week, I thought I would do another pitch for another great iPhone app call Pano. You can get it from iTunes App Store.

This Pano app will let you take some beautiful panoramic photos using your iPhone. Take a look at the panoramic photos below, I took these photos when we were on vacation and business trip in Prague.

“Senators ask FCC to look into iPhone-AT&T exclusivity” . . . No Joke!

Just when you think, okay what else can the government get a hold of now? Until I read this article, “Senators ask FCC to look into iPhone-AT&T exclusivity Posted by Richard Koman.

Hey, Senators . . . what is the big deal? If you want an iPhone that bad, just switch your carrier to AT&T. Or maybe is it because you are not getting enough kick-back from AT&T! Is this part of your socialism agenda?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of AT&T but I do like the iPhone so I switched couple of years ago from T-Mobile to AT&T, but please, don’t start whining to the government because AT&T this or Apple that!

The government is going where it does not belong! But it shouldn’t surprise us!

6. Got his degree in Political Economics by bribing Sally Struthers with a chocolate donut.

5. Anybody mentions Washington, he asks, "The state or the DC thingie?"

On the very first question of the debate, he attempts to use a lifeline.

Good Job Fr. Miguel!

We are back from our vacation/business trip! Sweet home Alabama . . . hot, humid and muggy . . . I almost forget what it’s like being in Alabama during this time.

If you have not been to the EWTN website lately, you should check it out now, Fr. Miguel (Michael’s brother) is on the front page of the website. My guess is they put this up for the Feast of the Corpus Christi celebrating the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist this Sunday. It’s a powerful feast day and powerful image! Good job Fr. Miguel!

Many Ways Of Touring In Prague

You can tour Prague in different ways . . .

By big or small boats

Or by a horse buggy

Or by one of these, and I have no idea what they call it!

Or by an old classical car, which is my favorite! Only for $63

But, I did it the original ways . . . by foot and it’s free!

Live From Prague, Czech Republic

Right now I am on a business trip to the Czech Republic after our trip to Canada. I flew out from Detroit on Saturday and arrived in Prague, Czech Republic today on Sunday morning. I was concerned about not being able to go to Mass on Sunday due to the time of my arrival, but God was good and thank you for all of you who are praying for me that I will find Mass in Prague.
St. Joseph Church was just around the corner from my hotel and I went to the 5 o’clock Mass. Thank you St. Joseph!

It was an older and simple church and it sit in the middle of town right next to the LARGEST Shopping Mall in Czech Republic, called Palladium. So as you can imagine, all the young people were at the shopping mall, and the older folks were at Mass. Although the church was full, it would’ve been nice to see some younger people in there. They still use the  communion rails and everyone kneel down on the communion rails while the Priest distributed communions.

The Real Muskoka Experience

The weather was perfect last Wednesday (June 3), sun shine but a bit cooler! With the generosity of Coby’s parents we (Coby & I and Christiana) went on a lunch cruise aboard Wenonah II sailing on Lake Muskoka. It was a great 2 ½ hour cruise with fancy dining and beautiful scenery. “If you think you know Muskoka . . . it’s time to get real” - The real Muskoka experience.

We absolutely love it! It will certainly fade away any stress you might have.

We also enjoyed looking at the million dollar lake homes from the ship.

My deepest gratitude goes to Coby’s Mom and Dad for arranging this beautiful cruise for us and for watching the other 3 girls while we sailed the Wenonah II. Thank you Mom & Dad!

The woman always replied by saying,"We don’t need to spend any extra money on them airplanes,its to expensive.Ten dollars is ten dollars.

Tom, the pilot, said, “Larry, every year I hear you say you want to ride my airplanes, and every year Anna says it’s too expensive. I’ll make you a deal, if I do all of my flips and tricks with you in there with me, and you don’t say one word, I’ll give you the ride for free.
Anna and Larry discussed it and decided they would take the deal.They got up in the air and Tom did all of his tricks and flips.

Tom said, "Larry I just knew you`d say something on that first flip,but you didn’t!

Larry replied, “I was going to say something when Anna fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars.
