Rose Garden

I beg your pardon;
I never promised you a rose garden.

The Voice In The Head


The voice in the head tells a story that the body believes in and reacts to. Those reactions are the emotions. (Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth, p. 135)

If you're supposed to do something - stop thinking about doing it and DO IT! (Steve Case, Everything Counts, 20 February)

During the afternoon yesterday the weather was nice. Melva and I went for a walk in the neighborhood. We are one of the few couples who do this. Afterward we went to the double thrift store on New Hampshire Avenue. I hit the CD jackpot again. I spent $12.28 and came home with ten CDs. It's time to update my music catalog again.
  • Josh Groban - Closer - $1.91
  • 101 Strings - Love Collection (3 discs) - $1.91
  • Aaron Tippin - Read Between the Lines - $1.41
  • Karrin Allyson - Azure Te - $1.41
  • Anna Netrebko - Opera Arias - $1.41
  • Renee Fleming - Verisom - $1.41
  • Renee Fleming - By Request - $1.41
  • Pinchas Zukerman and St. Paul Chamber - Vivaldi - Four Seasons - $1.41
I also purchased a two-CD National Geographic Trip Planner for 80 cents. There are photos on one of the CDs that can be used without installing the software.

I posted a Most Wanted piece about one of the Peter Yohos to MyBox. Before the day was over I received responses from Tim Yoho and Vernon Anderson telling me where he fits into the Yoho family tree. I'm going to add their comments to that webpage and post it again.

West Virginia Friends

Wisdom is the God-given ability to see life with rare objectivity and to handle life with rare stability. (Charles R. Swindoll, Wisdom For The Way, p. 207)

Melva and I went to Union Station to eat supper with Vernon Anderson our friend from West Virginia. Vernon and I spent several years working on Yoho genealogy together. He reminded me that we never talked on the phone during the course of our project. Everything was done with Email and attachments. This time, to coordinate our get-together we used our cellphones. When it was time for Vernon to return to the bus we walked with him to the bus garage. He introduced us to Joe Henthorn and his wife. I believe this was the first time I ever met a Henthorn from the Ohio River valley face to face. If you are wondering if we are related, we aren't, at least not in this country.

I thought of another thing to learn about. I discovered there are programs that can convert webpages to PDF files. If that works it would come in handy. I could use it to salvage my HTML pages from the genealogy website I had on AOL for many years.
