Jack’s Winning Words 2/17/15
Life is like Mardi Gras.  Show people your brain, and, if they like it, you’ll have more beads than you know what to do with.”  (Ellen DeGeneres)  Freewilly asks: “What’s the most important part of the body?”  The answer is, “None!  The body works as a team.”  That’s the way it is (or should be) with any organization.  When there’s teamwork, things get done.  One of life’s frustrations is to know the value of people working together…and not seeing it.    ;-)  Jack

FROM MICHIZONA RAY:  The "team" gains a very powerful momentum, quite often unstoppable, IF it is also of one focus. By the way, at Mardi Gras the brain isn't the focus. If it were, there wouldn't be a Mardi Gras.====JACK:  You have an eagle eye.  I did leave out part of Ellen's quote, but you got the point.

FROM TARMART REV:  "Your head bone connected from your neck bone,
Your neck bone connected from your shoulder bone,
Your shoulder bone connected from your back bone,
Your back bone connected from your hip bone,
Your hip bone connected from your thigh bone,
Your thigh bone connected from your knee bone,
Your knee bone connected from your leg bone,
Your leg bone connected from your ankle bone,
Your ankle bone connected from your foot bone,
Your foot bone connected from your toe bone,
I hear the word of the Lord!
I hear the word of the Lord!" 
====JACK:  I wonder if anyone called Ezeliel by his nickname, Zeke?  The Chicago White Sox once had a player named, Zeke Bonura.  Do you know any Zekes?

FROM DR J IN OHIO:  good one!====JACK:  Speaking of good ones, have you had a paczki today?

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Your BRAIN??! Since when? HA!  Mardi Gras is pretty wild and raucous. Too much for me!  "Tact is the  art of making your point without making an enemy." (Isaac Newton)  It takes sensitivity to work well in teams, and some do not seem to have it!  Good teamwork with focus and dedication is definitely  the bet way to accomplish challenging goals. Two heads (3, 4, 5,?) are better than one...====JACK:  I chose not to quote Ellen completely, because I didn't want my message (teamwork is important) to be sidetracked by another thought.   We had pancakes for supper tonight, as we usually do on Fat Tuesday.
