Wright News by December 4, 2006

A man and his clone went for a walk in the woods.  Suddenly the clone let out a stream of vulgarities and swear words.  The man said, “I hate that kind of language!  If you ever do that again, I’ll take drastic steps to stop it.”

The next day the two were walking along the edge of a cliff.  Again, the clone suddenly erupted in a bout of terrible swear words and obscenities. The man couldn’t stand it, and pushed the clone off the cliff.  The man was then arrested.  Do you know what they charged him with?  He was arrested for making an obscene clone fall!

Can you stand one more?

Dale Evans bought Roy Rogers a new pair of snakeskin boots.  As Roy rode out into the desert, a wildcat jumped from the bushes and ripped his boots to shreds.  Roy shot the wildcat and threw his carcass across Trigger’s back and rode quickly back to the ranch.  Dale greeted him at the door, as he held the slain wildcat in his arms, along with the torn snakeskin boots. Dale asked: “Pardon me, Roy, Is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?”

Forgive me for the Puns, I just thought you needed a little levity today. Oh, there’s just one more.  Did you hear that Rod Walli isn’t allowed to fly on a plane any more?  They won’t let him fly because he always carries “Weapons of Math Instruction” with him.  Of course I’m just kidding. Rod is a retired Math teacher.

Mae Maruski called me to thank everyone who gave her financial gifts for her birthday back in May.  She had requested that NO GIFTS be given, but she still got some, so she decided to use the money to buy cardamom breads for the coffee times at the Villa Vista.  Mae appreciates all her friends and just wanted to share that friendship with the residents at the Villa. Speaking of the Residents at the Villa Vista.  A two special people from Barnum have donated a gift for every resident for Christmas.  This wonderful couple spends all year knitting items and then donates them to worthy causes at Christmas.  Thank You to the Barnum Elves!  If you have a gift for a resident at the Villa, please drop it off soon.   Just label it Man’s or Woman’s gift.

CHRISTMAS!  What do you think of when you hear the word Christmas?  There are many who are so busy that they almost dread the word.  Please take the time to enjoy Christmas and all it has for us.  Remember the Reason for the Season.

Another group of folks attended the “Church Basement Ladies” play at the Plymouth Playhouse in Mpls on November 29th.  This is a wonderful experience and I’m glad I went.

Congratulations to Cody Hendrickson, of Wright, who was named to the 2006 All-Area Football Team by the Duluth News Tribune.  His photo appeared in the Sunday newspaper on December 3rd, 2006.  Cody led the Cardinals to a 12-1 record and a berth in the Nine-Man State Semifinals after quarterbacking the team to the state finals in 2005, too.  Cody passed for 1,688 yards and 18 touchdowns, he rushed for 1,028 yards and 20 scores and totaled 140 points.  He was also named to the AP All-State first team in secondary, where he made 130 tackles, intercepted eight passes and recovered four fumbles.    There are only 4 nine-man teams in the state that get to play in the Dome and Cody has helped our team play there 2 years in a row. Cody would be the first to say that he couldn’t have done it with out the help of his whole team, the coaches and the parents and fans.  Thanks for another exciting football season, guys!!

Household Hint:  Cut down on cleanup time.  Keep a garbage bag handy as you cook and discard debris, cans, trimmings, rinds, etc. as you prepare a meal.

I keep a bag hooked to a cupboard drawer knob and an empty 3-lb. coffee container on the counter to dispose of the food garbage.  It works great and you don’t have to keep walking to the regular garbage can.

I will be preaching and conducting the service at the Tamarack Presbyterian Church on Sunday, December 17th at 11 AM.  Please feel free to attend.

Bible Verse:  "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord” Luke 2:11
