There was this knight who was very brave, but a little strange. While all the other knights rode horses, he preferred to ride his faithful Great Dane. One night while returning from a trip he was caught in a violent rainstorm and sought shelter at an inn. The innkeeper hated knights and refused to give him a room. But when he saw the dog standing there soaking wet, his heart softened. "I couldn't turn a knight out on a dog like this," he said. CONFUCIUS SAY ... "Man who put face in punch bowl get punch in nose." "Chemist who fall in acid get absorbed in work." "Man who live in glass house should dress in basement."

Dianne has been working at the center for the past few months on and off due to two operations on her leg. Hopefully, it was her last operation and she'll be around for quite awhile. Dianne not only works in the center as a receptionist and instructor, but also as a "right ann" on all special events and outside activities. Another welcome face around the center is that of Gilon Johnson, Jr., the new maintenance man. Gilon began working right before the holiday. He'll mainly be working late afternoons and weekends. We sure needed him! With two additions such as Dianne and Gilon, the Recreation Department is surely starting th~ new year off right! **** *** * *-*******'If*~**********·****-~************************************** -·..::- �HAPPY BIRTHDAY ' Don't _forget to wish the following nice people "Happy Birthday!"

Call Ruth, Water Department, extension 286. *********************************************************************** -~ �RA IN, RA IN -- GO AWAY! , .r As you know, all the smart people go South, like the birds, in winter. Now, the reasoning behind this is to escape the cold, miserable weather in the North for as long as they can afford to stay. Right? Right! Then, how come while all you people were basking in the sun in good old Colorado, I was dripping wet in "sunny" Mexico at least 50% of every day we were there? I tell you, sometimes there just ain't no justice. However, since I am an adventurous person, with a fatalistic attitude, I take almost everything in my stride and make the best of it. It was warm and beautiful, so I figured, "What's a little water, more or less?" After all, when you are in your bathing suit, who cares if you are standing knee deep in water or lying on a deck chair in comfort having the water come to you? As long as I could keep my drink and my copy of "The Choir Boys" dry, I was happy. Although we did do just as we had planned, which was little or nothing, we did manage to see the pyramids, the University and Mexico City, in general. We ventured forth to the subway on our own a couple of days and were feeling pretty smart about ending up where we had head~d. The last time we ventured forth to the subway, we got caught at a place where simply every family in Mexico City goes on a Sunday afternoon and we decided to head home at the same time all those families did. We found out later that the doors work on a very simple system. They stay open exactly 17 seconds. Now, if you use a little imagination you can see the situation we were in with about SO people trying to get out the door and about 200 people trying to get in the door in the same 17 seconds. It was fto slight achievement, but with stamina and persistence, we made it on, only to wish within the next few minutes that we hadn't. We immediately found out what a sardine feels like. Even if you don't have claustrophobia, you just can't breathe with all those bodies pressing up against you and pushing you this way and that. We thought we would never get off that thing (alive), and when we did, we never tried it again. We left shortly thereafter for Puerto Vallarta which really was the high point of the trip. It was lush and beautiful and we lucked into the nicest hotel in town. We had our very own beach, rental equipment for anything you want to try, comfortable deck chairs all over the patio area and a patio refreshment stand within just a few feet. Boy, that's the life! Only once did we even move far enough to get into town. We made up our minds that next time we would go _straight to either Puerto Vallarta or perhaps Alcapulco and just stay put for the entire length of our stay. · One knowledgeable word of advice. When Montezuma seeks his revenge, go tD the nearest drugstore in Mexico and tell them your long sad story. They have medicine they dispense right over the counter that will stop your problems like right now. If you wait (and suffer) until you get back, you'll have to get a prescription for medicine that's only half as good and takes twice as long to work.
