It is great that I don't have to spell. I have hired three young ladies that do it for me. Of course, today is pay day, and I have to get the math correct. I think those who are posting can get some slack, I am probably the worst speller on this List, but so far only Paul and Flower Boy, and some times Lew make fun of me. School is so much more important for our youth than other activities, but there should be a balance. If the answer is lose credit, or attend a dog show, school must and does come first. Without a good education, you will end up without a dog, never winning points, and last in a class of three. We also, have to all decide how to allocate our time. Some of our Parent Club Board members have given up other activities to be on the Board, and our youth may have to give up a show here or there, to graduate. I have decided to return to an old hobby of mine and will attend the International Brotherhood of Magician's convention this year. My aunt, who used to be the President of the IBM, and who is going to attend at age 94 has been after me for 48 years to get back to my first hobby. I refuse to give up German shepherds, so right after the convention I will be driving through the night to make it to a Specialty show. I have begun to work on my one hand shuffle again, and wonder if any of my old magic friends are still alive? The last convention I went to of IBM was in 1955. In order to be there, I have continued a trial for a client, transferred another case to another attorney and turned down a case. I am not sure any of the clients are happy about it. But, I have figured out that if I don't join my aunt this year, I might not be able to do so later. I am not getting any younger. I am thinking of a new act with German shepherd instead of tigers. Maybe Flower Boy would wear tights and be my assistant? Not that there is anything wrong with that.
