Although this salutation is not new I thought that it was in order.
It's been quite a week for me, as I am sure for some of you as well. What do you say we all greet this day with a swift kick in the crotch, a smile and gentle hello?
I don't know what any of you have generally planned or specifically scheduled for today. All I know is that I hope that it turns out well for you.
Why am I so upbeat? Perhaps you are thinking...Hmmm, he must have got some. Well, no I didn't but I came pretty close and that my friends alone is worth a mighty how de do.:)
Have a good Friday, everyone.

Just a Hello and a lil pick me up..
From a friend to me, to you..

Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday and I wasn't
>> feeling too good that
>> morning. I went down to breakfast knowing my wife
>> would be pleasant
>> and say, "Happy Birthday!" and probably have a present
>> for me.
>> As it turned out, she didn't even say good morning,
>> let alone any
>> happy birthday. I thought, well, that's wives for
>> you. The children
>> will remember.
>>
>> The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a
>> word. So, when I
>> left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and
>> despondent.
>> As I walked into my office, my secretary, Janet, said,
>> "Good morning,
>> Boss. Happy Birthday". And I felt a little better that
>> someone had
>> remembered.
>>
>> I worked until noon, then Janet knocked on my door and
>> said, "You
>> know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it's your
>> birthday, let's
>> go to lunch, just you and me." I said, "By George,
>> that's the
>> greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!" So off
>> we went to lunch.
>> We didn't go where we normally go; instead we went
>> out to a private
>> little place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch
>> tremendously.
>> On the way back to the office, she said, "You know,
>> it's such a
>> beautiful day. We don't need to go back to the
>> office, do we?"
>> I said, "No, I guess not."
>>
>> She said, "Let's go to my apartment."
>> After arriving at her apartment, she said, "Boss, if
>> you don't mind, I
>> think I'll go into my bedroom and get out of these
>> uncomfortable work
>> clothes. I'll be right back."
>>
>> "Sure!" I excitedly replied.
>> She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes,
>> she came out
>> carrying a huge birthday cake ----- followed by my
>> wife, children, and
>> dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
>>
>>
>>
>> and I just sat there....
>>
>>
>>
>> on the couch....
>> ...naked.

The morale of the story is? you guess it.
