Im sure that Mr. Faubert had no idea when he said those words that some day some poor soul who had just decided this was a blah day and hardly worth getting up for would read them and decide to get busy and do what the day might bring to do.

Samuel Butler once said, The course of true anything never does run smooth. I got a kick out of something I read the other day which said, Most of the stumbling blocks men complain are under their hats and Obstacles are the stumbling blocks that often become the stepping stones to success. Now Im going to ask you to pull up that old easy chair and chat with me on Party Line and Im glad I had a lot of Party Line news coming over the wires this week to write about, or I might have gone back to bed this morning.
