Bob White 15 Posted April 5, 2002 I like my SM minutes to be way way under a minute. Turn the lights low in the room let everyone get quiet. Enjoy the moment of calm. Give them a line or two thats easy ro remember and wish them good night. A few of my favorites. Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm. "Ralph Waldo Emmerson" "It's more important to have character than to be a character" "We are each personally responsible for the quality of our community" "my parents" "The only time it's OK to smoke...is when you're on fire" Anyone else have some short ones to share?

Mike Long 10 Posted April 8, 2002 Character and morality are not creatures of conveniece.(sp?) Aim high. That way you won't shoot yourself in the foot. If it's easy it's probably not worth doing. There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad equipment choices. Any fool can destroy something. It requires greatness to build and even greater is he who re-builds.
