SCHINDLER SEZ – APRIL SHOWERS

April 26, 2013 Jim Schindler

When you do nothing… nothing happens.

April Showers
April showers bring May flowers,
We’ve heard the poets say.
But I love it when the sun does shine,
And drive the rain away.

Oh, April showers; I love your flowers,
They’re such a pretty sight,
So do us all a humongous favor,
And shower them at night.

It’s Not Your Day
April 22nd, was earth day.
If you’re still here, be thankful your feet are on the ground.
For all you folks whose feet aren’t, I guess it’s not your day!

Marry the Dude
Ladies, if you ever meet a man who looks as good as his resume’…marry the dude.

Keeping Things Level Over Time ~ The History of Ordinary Things
How did early builders ensure the structures they were erecting were plumb vertically and horizontally?
