I think it was a quote from Benjamin Franklin,<BR/><BR/>"Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the inspiration.<BR/><BR/>Here's to a prayer that the elevator is working for you tomorrow...perhaps the "elevator day" thing is old now.<BR/><BR/>It's odd...this world wide web thing...I feel like an uninvited guest if I just drop into a blog without introducing myself or saying 'hello'. It's like walking in to someone's life and they may not even know your there. I still can't do that...feel like I'm intruding so...now that I've introduced myself, and you've acknowledged my presence, is it o.k. to visit again?<BR/><BR/>...o.k so I'm fairly fresh at getting caught in the web.<BR/><BR/>Bye for now.Joyful Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808201481346874191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-80492519081369945762008-01-20T18:32:00.000-05:002008-01-20T18:32:00.000-05:00I haven't read your blog for a week.

I am not prepared. I haven't got a word for my presentation, I am thinking about giving up. But one day left. I will read the unread posts from your blog and I am sure I will feel again why I applied for the job - as after the last week everything seems to be blured. Thank you for being so reliable Dave. All the best - I'm starting to read nowYatseqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261416301108488779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-24136071602705191772008-01-20T09:53:00.000-05:002008-01-20T09:53:00.000-05:00Joyful, I can't leave you in a state of irk so I f...Joyful, I can't leave you in a state of irk so I felt I must answer your question. I get up, usually, around 4 in the morning. I like early mornings but the trade off is that I go to bed very early, usually at 8 and read for an hour and lights out at 9. By the by, I remember that group home with great fondness - that was a very very long time ago now.Dave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-7771602947597093042008-01-20T09:22:00.000-05:002008-01-20T09:22:00.000-05:00Hi Dave,I'm new to your blog.

I first visited because of Brent Martin and how it affected me.<BR/><BR/>I first met you years ago, in Stouffville at a staff meeting at Raylene's home -Uxbridge (a staff meeting for Christian Horizons).It was memorable for me. I rememer Raylene was being grouchy and you said, "So...you're a grumpy gus today."<BR/><BR/>You said those words with acceptance. I was touched. I never forgot you. <BR/><BR/>I've heard you speak on various topics on disability. I worked for 10 years as a manager at Christian Horizons under Belinda.<BR/><BR/>She was the one who introduced me to your site.<BR/><BR/>Thank you. <BR/><BR/>One question that is irking me, compelling me to ask.<BR/><BR/>What time do you get up in the morning. I look at your post times. Wow!<BR/><BR/>I am an early riser. But 4:18 a.m. Wow!<BR/>I've only read 10 or so of your posts but the time is always...er...well...early.<BR/><BR/>Just curious and I'm smiling...<BR/>Gotta know...Joyful Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808201481346874191noreply@blogger.com
