Sally's Report Card

Eight-year-old Sally brought her report card home from school. Her marks were good…mostly A’s and a couple of B’s.
However, her teacher had written across the bottom: "Sally is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in school. I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the habit."
Sally’s dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back: "Please let me know if your idea works on Sally because I would like to try it out on her mother."

Celebrating - Gabriel Jesús Iglesias

As we continue to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I would like to recognize Gabriel Jesús Iglesias, better known as Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias.  He is a hilarious comedian, and my wife truly enjoys his shows.  I even bought one of his signed Bobble heads for her on Christmas.

What I love about his humor is that he doesn't curse or use derogatory language; instead, he uses good humor, which is probably why my wife is a big fan of him.  

He worked his way from a low-income family to super stardom through his dedicated work style.

He is the first comedian to sell out Dodger Stadium, which happened in 2022. (1)

Patience off of the Green

The nurse noticed a man in golf attire pacing up and down outside the emergency room where another golfer, who had a golf ball driven down his throat, was being treated by a doctor.
"Is he a relative of yours?" the nurse, stepping outside the room, asked the pacing golfer.
"No," replied the man. "It's my ball."

Celebrating - Sonia Maria Sotomayor

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I am celebrating Sonia Maria Sotomayor, who is an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.  She is the first Hispanic Justice and the third woman to serve on the court. (1)

President George H.W. Bush nominated Sotomayor to a seat on the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York on November 27, 1991. She was confirmed by unanimous consent of the full Senate on August 11th.(1)

President Bill Clinton nominated her to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. There were some objections from republicans and blocks put in place. However, she was confirmed on October 2, 1998, by a 67-29 vote within the Senate.(1)

President Barack Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court on May 26, 2009. On August 6th, 2009, she was confirmed by the Senate 68-31.

I think she brings an exceptional balance to the court because she has a much wider range of experiences than the other justices.
