Welcome to 

The annual Turkey skate was a huge success. Thanks to Brinks, Denny, Stump and the Anvil for bringing refreshments!  Thanks also to Frank and Beak for putting up the money for a deposit and beating Glassford's team to the prime time.  His team had to play at 10:50.

Denny DeGuest Saves the Reds

Downers Grove, IL
November 28, 2002

The Reds jumped off to an early lead

when Lorenzo beat the Brain with a quick shot.  The Anvil lost his shut out when Tweedy fired a shot past him.  When Tweedy scored again,  the Anvil threatened to ban  Him from the post game beer and bratwurst party in the Cuzin Eddie camper.  Tweedy spent the rest of the game passing to Art and Thor.  Art kept trying to set up Thor, but the pre game coconut rum was better than good goal tending at preventing Thor from scoring.  It is too bad that Brian "The Brain" couldn't threaten Johnny "King Kong", because he went on a shameless meaningless scoring binge for the Reds, that he later felt shame for.   Miller-Lite rang one off of both post to give the Reds a meaningless win.
Beak managed the only Meaningful goal for the Home team Whites when Peg leg Klinger gave Butt Head Morgan a pass that sprung him loose.  Hit-Man hustled himself into a short shift so he jumped off and Beak joined

to enjoy some of the Anvil's Brats and wash them down with Denny and Brinks' beer, Stump's Coconut rum and pineapple juice.  Minni Wheezer scored and  took ticket orders for the December 11 Wolves-Icecats game.  The Camper to Milwaukee on December 12, was cancelled due to lack of interest.  Thanks to Brinks, Denny, Stump and the Anvil for a great time!

The Anvil's camper, filled with brats and beer drew a crowd. 

the play just in time to one time a perfect pass from Tom Morgan into the net.  It looked like that goal would stand up as the meaningful winner until late in the game, when Dizzy and Johnny quit passing to each other and gave Denny DeGuest a backdoor goal to give the Reds a Meaningful tie at 1-1. After the game everyone went out to Eddie's Camper

          The Best Advice I've Ever Received


1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes 
age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about
them. That is why you pay him/her.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, 
crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain 
idle, "An idle mind is the devil's workshop," the

devil's name is Depression.
4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are 
young, that is all that you can afford. When they

  are in college, that is all that you can afford. 
When you are on retirement, that is all that you can afford.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp 
for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in 
the store by your distinctive laughter.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. 
The only person who is with us our entire life, is 
ourselves. Be alive while you are alive; don't put 
out a mailbox on the highway of death and just wait 
in residence for your mail.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it 
is family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, 
whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. 
If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what 
you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next 
county, a foreign country, but not to guilt country.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at 
every opportunity; and always remember . . . "Life 
is not measured by the number of breaths we take but 
by the moments that take our breath away."



THEY SAY. . .



It takes a minute to find a special person
An hour to appreciate them
A day to love them
But then an entire life to forget them.
 
 
(Some I've tried to forget...but they just keep coming back like a song...)  jb
