Saturday Evening, December 14th, 2024..\u00a0<\/em><\/span>a\/k\/a Yesterday.<\/p>\n

Like a Zephyr .. (a gentle breeze.. a light wind)..<\/p>\n

Danny Z, our long time friend and ally, from Royal Oak, Michigan, blew into Lake Havasu City last Wednesday. This evening, after our Saturday Night Speaker Meeting, as if a Zephyr, Danny headed for Phoenix in the dark of night, to check in tomorrow morning at 4am for a 6am flight back to Detroit, Michigan.<\/p>\n

Patti was not able to join Danny and me in our activities today. Patti still is croupy with an almost constant cough and certainly is in medical distress. I asked Patti this morning if she wanted to visit our local Emergency Room and she declined my offer.<\/p>\n

Danny and I attended two (12 noon and 7pm) meetings, and did some other projects (fill up his rental cars gas tank, Home Depot for a project of mine, etc.)<\/p>\n

The highlight of the day?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Danny REALLY wanted photos of the three of us together. So our neighbor Debbie, came to our rescue and snapped photos of us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I thanked Debbie texting her..<\/p>\n

Perhaps you will<\/p>\n

forget tomorrow<\/p>\n

the kind words\u00a0<\/p>\n

you say today,<\/p>\n

but the recipient<\/p>\n

may cherish them<\/p>\n

over\u00a0 a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Saying to Debbie..\u00a0 “Debbie, you may not remember what you did for us today, but the three of us will forever treasure the photos you took of us!”<\/p>\n

Danny you will be missed!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Cap and Patti<\/p>\n

At 11:35pm Danny (who left Lake Havasu City at 8:10pm) called to say he was safely AT the Phoenix Airport!\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When I was checking out National Today’s website, I saw this holiday.. Cat Herder’s Day.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I thought “What on earth is this about?”<\/p>\n

So I checked it out.<\/p>\n

HERDING CATS..<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

December 15 is Cat Herder\u2019s Day!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although the only job remotely close to cat herding is working at your local animal shelter, this holiday is not dedicated to cats<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

This celebration is meant for those who can manage others and themselves no matter what chaos is thrown their way. The idiom, \u201clike herding cats,\u201d was popularized during a Super Bowl commercial in 2000 by EDS. They compared their ability to serve others like cowboys herding cats \u2013 with ease. Since then, the phrase is mostly used to describe those who can lead and handle life even when it is uncontrollable. The term is also considered a skill workers use when leading a group towards one goal.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Got it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NATIONAL TODAY \/ NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR<\/span>.. Are the sources of most, but not 100%, of the information on our various \u201cDays\u201d such as today.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Over and Out.<\/p>\n
