“There is no Someday in the calendar.”  (Ignacio)  Yahoo has a new series called, The Failure Club.  It tells the stories of people, like Ignacio, who have chased their dreams.  He wanted to start a haberdashery store in NYC, and was able to do it, because he didn’t allow “Someday” to have a place in his calendar.  “To Dream the Impossible Dream” is one of my favorite songs.  Is there some dream that you’d like to pursue?    ;-)  Jack

FROM PH VISITING FROM MINNESOTA:   Good morning, Jack...be sure to enjoy your blessed day ahead!////FROM JACK:  I remember a song that that kids would sing at the beginning of the school day. 
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
We're all in our places
With bright shining faces
What a wonderful way
To start a new day
I wonder if it done any place anymore?

 FROM DR PAUL IN MICHIGAN:  There is a great 4 part series on cable right now called, "The Men Who Built America."  It's fascinating.  Along with the stories are commentaries by current billionaires like Trump and Welch.  You would have enough material in one show for a year of writings and sermons! ////FROM JACK:  Perhaps I'll tune in and shut off the furnace.

 FROM PEPPERMINT MARY:  i have a future vision.  it involves elders, children, and a little dog.  i know it sounds a bit like the funny papers you enjoy, but life should have a little humor.  right?  oh, and, thanks for the song of the day!////FROM JACK:  It sounds like the comic strip, "Pickles,"  with Earl, Opal,  grandson Nelson and the dog, Roscoe.

 FROM (SAINT) JUDY:  That song was our graduation song!  Our dream is to have a 20+ acre lot and a home on a lake.  We are in planning stages.  It is so much fun to plan.////FROM JACK:   Here are some lines from David Cook's song, "Dream Big."
'Coz if you don't dream big what's the use of dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes one look to make the stars worth reaching for
So reach out for something more

 FROM DLM ON THE BENCH:  I just thought I would pass on a thought... Are you saving all of these great words in a binder for a potential book? (smile). You should be! These are great inspiration. ////FROM JACK:  I've thought about a book or a calendar...Someday.  But my "joy" comes from the daily interaction with friends, like you.  To me, the WWs are like conversations.  We enjoy the moment, and then move on to find more interesting things to talk about.

 FROM BLAZING OAKS:  We just enjoyed an excellent performance of MAN OF LA MANCHA, so that beautiful song is fresh in my memory.  Good  reminder today that SOMEDAY is not good enough! I like the Steve Jobs quote:"Your time is limited. Don't waste it living someone else's life.." Get going on your OWN everyday! (Everyday is on the calendar!)  Always enjoy your words, wit, and songs!////FROM JACK:  I wonder why it's called, "The Failure Club," when "The Success Club" seems more fitting?

 FROM AW IN ILLINOIS:  I think it is next to yesterday or doomsday?////FROM JACK:  Elvis Perkins wrote a song called, "Doomsday," recalling the day his mother happened to be on a plane that hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.  Here are some of the lines...."Not in all my wildest dreams it never once was seen
that doomsday might fall anywhere near a tuesday   but flight across the skies seein fate before my eyes"

 FROM IKE AT THE MIC:  Isn't it interesting that Sunday..the day of  the Christian Lord is so close to  sounding like"SONday"?////FROM JACK:  In the Indic languages, Sun-day refers to Surya, the chief solar diety.
