Shortly after we moved in to our new office, I walked into the break room and thought it odd that thewaste basket by the door was nearly full of water. There didn‘t appear to be any water anywhere else. I calle

the property manager and maintenance was there in a flash — it was an AC condensation leak. A couple weekago when I arrived in the office and stepped into the break room, water was all over the floor-BIG condensatioleak. Thank goodness for responsive property managers and maintenance personnel.

The winter of 2009 got the best of our magnolia tree. I talked with Cousin Linda of TLC Greenhouseand Nursery to see if it could be brought back to life. She told me to water it and feed it every week and afterabout 2 years, it will revive.

Fathers Day, June 19The world ―father‖ comes from the Old English

word ―foeder‖, and ―dad‖ is believed to be a variation of the Welsh word ―tad‖, which also means ―father‖. Ac-

cording to a survey by the Public Broadcasting System,79 percent of kids call the father figure in their lives―dad‖ or ―daddy‖; 3 percent call them by their firstname; 1 percent call them ‗father‖. 

Coffee: Good for more

than waking up earlyThat cup of coffee that gets

you going in the morning — or keepsyou energetic in the afternoon — mayhave some positive health benefits.Though no one is recommending mas-sive does of caffeine, coffee in mod-

eration may be good for more than justkeeping you awake and alert. Here‘s alook at some of the research:

Gallstones. Some scientists believe that drinking cof-fee may reduce a person‘s risk of developing gall-

stones by stimulating gallbladder contractions andlowering concentrations of cholesterol in bile.

Kidney stones. Studies have suggested that coffeeconsumption (caffeinated or decaf) cuts a person‘schances of developing kidney stones by as much as 10 percent.

Diabetes. Research involving more than 450,000 pa-tients indicates that drinking four cups of coffee or teaa day may reduce one‘s risk for Type 2 diabetes by 2535 percent.

Parkinson’s Disease. Men who don‘t drink coffeeare apparently five times as likely to develop Parkin-son‘s Disease as those who consume lots of coffee— though the link between coffee and Parkinson‘s hasn‘t

 been definitely established. Studies with women have been inconclusive.

Just don‘t go overboard. Doctors recommend

drinking no more than 24 ounces of coffee a day. That‘sfour 6-oz cups (bet you didn‘t know that—— duh!)

Eating Out...interesting facts from National Restaurant

Association: There are 925,000 restaurants in the United States; annual revenues

are $511 billion

The restaurant industry employs 12.5 million people, making it one of the largest employers, second only to the government.

Flag Day, June 14Flag Day was established in the 1800‘s to recognize the

importance of this cherished symbol. One of the most powerful images following the terrorist attacks of Septe ber 11, 2001, was a photograph of three fire fighters raian American flag amid the ruins of the World Trade Ceter. Many people assume the flag was one that had flow

on the building‘s observation deck and was recovered fthe rubble, but it was actually from a yacht docked in thHudson River marina at the time of the tragedy.

One of the New York city fire fighters spied theflag and carried it (and its pole) back to Ground Zero.There, two others helped him raise it. The fire fighters it to raise moral after digging for six hours withoutfinding survivors.

A photographer from a New Jersey newspaper caught the scene. Many papers and magazines ran the photo, which became a symbol of America‘s resolve in

face of calamity. The flag itself is now on display at thAmerican History Museum, part of the Smithsonian Instution in Washington, D.C.

A Bridge to Success...In the 19th century, engineer

doubted they‘d ever be able to build a bridge across the Niagara Falls. The problem: They couldn‘t see any wa

get a line from one side of the great gorge to the other sthat they could begin the project. No boat could cross triver without being pulled over the powerful falls. Theother common method, shooting a line from one shore tthe other with a bow and arrow, was impossible becausthe gap was too wide.

An engineer named Charles Ellet had an idea: Hsponsored a kite-flying contest. The prize was $5 to whever could maneuver a kite across the gorge and lower a height where someone on the other side could grab thstring and use it to secure a line that joined the two sideWith that line in place, he could begin building the brid

Great ideas connect dreams with achievement —often do so with simple tools.

“We’ve always done it that way”  A management consultant was hired by a

manufacturer in Britain to help improve its generaloperating efficiency. At one plant near London, shespent weeks reviewing daily reports that tracked pro-ductivity, absenteeism, machine failure, etc.

The reports were filled out by hand (the plantwas small) on a photocopied form. At the top of the

form the consultant noticed a small box that was al-ways filled out with the number zero. The form had been photocopied from the original so many times thatshe couldn‘t make out the instructions beneath the

 box.When she asked, the plant manager shrugged.

―There‘s always been a zero in that box,‖ he said.

―That‘s what they told me to put there when I started.

I don‘t really know why, but there must be a good rea-

son for it.‖ As the consultant finished her work, she was

checking some file cabinets when she discovered whatlooked like the original form, dating back to WorldWar II. Intrigued, she looked at the box to see whatimportant data it was meant to track, and how it wasrelevant to the plant‘s current operations. 

Then she realized the flaw in ―We‘ve always

done it that way.‖ Underneath the box were the words: ―Number 

of air raids today.‖

4. I‘m where yesterday follows today and tomor-

row‘s in the middle. What am I? 5. I go all around the world but stay in the corner.

What am I?6. I have holes in the top and bottom, on the left and

right, and in the middle, but I still hold water.What am I?

7. No sooner spoken than broken. What am I?8. You throw away the outside and eat the inside.

Then you eat the outside and throw away the in-side. What am I?

9. You can catch me but not throw me. What am I?10. I get wetter and wetter the more I dry. What am I?

For the Graduates. “A final exam for the

birds… 

Paul was majoring in zoology at college. One semeter he took a course in the study of birds. The night be-fore the final exam, Paul studied until he had the text- book nearly memorized. He knew his class notes backward and forward. He was eager to take the exam, cer-tain of getting a good grade.

The morning of the exam, Paul took a seat in thefront row of the big auditorium where the class washeld. Over 100 students were in the class with him. Ona table at the front was arrow of 10 stuffed birds, eachone with sack covering its body so that only the legswere showing.

The professor announced, ―For this test, whichcounts for 80 percent of your final grade, I want you toidentify each bird up here by its legs, and then discussits species, natural habitat, and mating patterns. Youmay begin.‖ 

Paul stared at the birds. All the legs looked the samto him. After spending half the exam period in growingfrustration as he tried to determine which bird waswhich, he picked up his exam and threw it on the profesor‘s desk, 

―This is ridiculous!‖ he shouted. ―I studied the text-

 book and my notes all night, and now you‘re asking meto name these birds by looking at their legs? Forget it!‖

The professor picked up the exam booklet andsaw that it was blank. ―What‘s your name, young man‖

With that, Paul yanked on leg of his pants up. ―Whydon‘t you tell me?‖ 

 Risk is what separates

the good part of life

 from the tedium.

First day of summer...are you ready to celebrate?  

Summer begins in 2011 on June 21 with the summer solstice, the daywhen the Earth‘s axis tilts our northern hemisphere most prominently

toward the sun. (In the southern hemisphere, the summer solstice willoccur on Dec. 22, 2011.) On this day, the sun will reach its highest poin the sky, and afterward the daylight hours will grow shorter.

The solstice has been a time of celebration and ritual in culturearound the world throughout history. At Stonehenge, a visitor standin

in the center of the stone circle can see the sun rising directly over theHell Stone, located just outside the ring of stones. The Egyptian GreatPyramids were built in such a way that an observer standing near the

Sphinx can watch the sun set directly between two of the Pyramids. Celts and Slavs celebrated the event with bonfires and dancing to help the sun increase its strengths. The Native American Hopi tribe had males dress as dancispirits of rain and fertility known as Kachinas; the Kachinas were messengers between humanity and the gods whleft the villages at midsummer to live in the mountains where they were said to visit the dead.

The ancient Druids‘ belief that the solstice represented the wedding of heaven and Earth is responsible for

the tradition of brides planning a lucky June wedding.

What your father told you is still true...On

Father‘s Day, we remember those words of wisdom that

Dad passed down to us – whether we listened to him or not:

On Intelligence “ Use that thing on your shouldersfor something other than a hat rack!‖ 

On Pouting ―If you stick that lip out any further, a

 bird will come along and poop on it.‖ 

On Problems ―if you don‘t want the hole to get any

deeper, stop digging!‖ On Life ―Appreciate scenery, art work, and a rainy Sun

day. And always keep your gas tank full.‖ On Success ―I learned a lot from my father, especiallyabout business. Probably the best advice I ever hadcame from him. He had a four step formula for gettingthings done: Get in. Get it done. Get it done right. Anget out.‖ (Donald Trump)
