The next week the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 am for a flight to Europe. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me tomorrow morning at 5:00 am".
The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00am, and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woken him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed - it said: "It's 5:00am, wake up".

Wednesday?s NHL roundup: Amonte caps comeback OT goals as Coyotes beat Capitals 2-1
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Canadian Press
Wednesday, January 01, 2003
ADVERTISEMENT
(CP) - Phoenix's Tony Amonte was thinking more about scoring goals than celebrating a personal milestone on Wednesday.
Playing in his 900th NHL game, Amonte beat goaltender Olaf Kolzig with 3:40 left in overtime to give the Phoenix Coyotes a 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals. "I was thinking score," Amonte said. "I've played against him a lot, and I know I want to get the puck as high as I can. I think he overplayed it a little, and it went underneath his arm."
Amonte sent a hard shot from the left circle past Kolzig to give the Coyotes their third straight victory. It also ended the Capitals' five-game home winning streak.
Washington controlled play for much of the game, finishing with a 32-14 advantage in shots, and holding the puck for long stretches. Amonte had four of his team's shots as the Coyotes had problems finding scoring chances, doing little until the third period and the overtime.
Phoenix goalie Sean Burke made a number of tough stops to keep the Coyotes close. He finished with 31 saves in just his third game back after missing 29 with a high ankle sprain.
"I think the shots were deceiving as opposed to the quality chances," Phoenix coach Bob Francis said. "You can't say enough about Sean's game."
Washington coach Bruce Cassidy thought his team played solid defence the entire game. The 14 shots the Capitals held Phoenix to nearly matched a franchise record (11), and they had chances for a win.
However, the Capitals earned one point from the overtime loss and pulled to within one point of first-place Tampa Bay in the Southeast Division race.
"I don't think we can shut a team down better than that over 60 minutes," Cassidy said. "They seemed content to keep it close and then come up with the game-winner."
Sergei Gonchar gave the Capitals a 1-0 lead on a power-play goal. The defenceman put a slap shot past Burke at 9:39 of the second period, his first goal since Dec. 1 at Atlanta.
Elsewhere in the NHL it was:Colorado 7, Nashville 3; and Florida 2, Devils 1.
Washington had a 5-on-3 advantage thanks to two penalties on Phoenix on the same play. Ossi Vaananen and Deron Quint were called for cross-checking and holding, respectively, at 8:31 and Gonchar scored 68 seconds later.
Washington held Phoenix to a season-low two shots in the first period and had a 25-6 advantage in shots after two periods but still only a 1-0 lead.
Ladislav Nagy tied it at 7:11 of the third period. He burst past Washington defenceman Ken Klee after he fell down, then cut to the front and flipped a backhand shot past Kolzig.
Avalanche 7, Predators 3
At Nashville, Tenn., Peter Forsberg had a goal and five assists, and Milan Hejduk added two goals and three assists to lead the Avalanche.
Forsberg set a new record for most points in a game against Nashville.
Steven Reinprecht, Mike Keane, Adam Foote and Rob Blake also scored for the Avalanche.
Panthers 2, Devils 1
At East Rutherford, N.J., Branislav Mezei scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period, and Roberto Luongo made 26 saves to lead the Panthers.
Marcus Nilson also scored for Florida. Sergei Brylin had the Devils' goal.

City Farmer Girl
Amy, a city girl, marries a farmer.
One morning, before he goes out to the fields, the farmer says to her, "The artificial insemination man is coming to impregnate one of our cows today. I drove a big nail into the two-by-four over the cow's stall. You show him where it is."
The farmer leaves, and a while later, the artificial insemination man arrives. Amy takes him down the rows of cows until she sees the nail.
She says, "This is the one, right here."
The man says, "How do you know?"
Amy says, "By the nail over its stall."
The man says, "What's the nail for?"
Amy says, "I guess it's to hang your pants on."

Gossip
Betty, the town gossip and self-appointed supervisor of the town's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
Most local residents were unappreciative of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. However, she made a mistake when she recently accused Ted, a local man, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked outside the town's only bar one afternoon.
Ted, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and walked away. Later that evening, he parked his pickup truck in front of her house and left it there all night.
wow the bar opens early

Hi ChuckUK welcome to ihub.

I submitted VLVT to a stock pix newsletter, every little bit of coverage might help get the story out and help get the value of this stock up to where it should be based upon projected income.
Well this past year I didn't manage to leave the continent at all. I put on something like 10,000 miles though, ha ha ha.
This summer I took the train across the country and ended up in DC. I bought a car and I drove it up to NYC and then toured back across the states, stayed in Chicago, then on to Rapid City and Sturgis, then home. It was a blast.
Since then I did another trip across to Milwaukee and Green Bay driving and seen the same countryside all over again.
Plus I had to go to a wedding in Winnipeg this summer and so I got to drive to the middle of Canada and back.
Lots of miles, too bad I couldn't collect some kind of points ha ha ha.

Who Shot Nott
A duel was fought between Alexander Shott and John Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. In this case it is better to be Shott than Nott. Some said that Nott was not shot. But Shott says that he shot Nott.
It may be that the shot Shott shot, shot Nott, or it may be possible that the shot Shott shot, shot Shott himself. We think, however, that the shot Shott shot, shot not Shott, but Nott. Anyway, it is hard to tell which was shot and which was not.
Why Some Countries CAN'T Go Metric!
If the metric system did ever take over, we'd have to change our thinking to the following:
* A miss is as good as 1.1 kilometers.
* Put your best 0.3 of a meter forward.
* Spare the 5.03 meters and spoil the child.
* Twenty-eight grams of prevention is worth 454 grams of cure.
* Give a man 2.5 centimeters and he'll take 1.6 kilometers.
* Peter Piper picked 8.8 liters of pickled peppers.

Protester arrested on Parliament Hill

Jim Turnbull is arrested by the RCMP during demonstration against bill C-68 on Parliament Hill in Ottawa Wednesday.

OTTAWA -- One gun-owning protester was arrested and several others tried unsuccessfully to draw police charges as they flouted Canada's firearms legislation at a New Year's Day protest on Parliament Hill. Jim Turnbull, head of the Canadian Unregistered Firearms Owners Association, was arrested for handling a receiver - an unloaded part of a handgun.
To chants of "shame" from some 150 protesters huddled near the Centennial Flame, RCMP escorted Turnbull, 70, to a police car, searched him and drove him away. Six other members of the group who handled the receiver were not arrested.
Turnbull, a retired auctioneer from Jarvie, Alta., said earlier in the day he hoped he would be arrested.
An RCMP spokesman said Turnbull was arrested for having a firearm at a public gathering, not for possessing an unregistered weapon under the 1995 Firearms Act.
Protesters called it a minor victory.
"To me it means that the RCMP realize quite clearly that the Firearms Act is a paper tiger that signifies nothing and it's not worth arresting me today standing here, telling you that I own firearms without a licence," said Ed Hudson, a member of the association from Saskatoon who brought the receiver onto Parliament Hill.
"The RCMP realizes that it does not make the citizens of Canada safer to arrest me and the fact that they are leaving me alone makes the point that I want to make: the firearms act is a toothless paper tiger."
Earlier, Turnbull and some eight gun enthusiasts and members of his association burned their gun registration certificates and a copy of Bill C-68, the Firearms Act, vowing never to register their weapons.
Their protest drew strong criticism from other citizens who travelled from as far as Chatham, Ont., to say they believed in gun control as a way of making Canada safer.
Under the act, all Canadians were required to register or declare their intent to register by midnight Tuesday night.
Turnbull's group placed a copy of their organization's declaration in front of the centre doors to the Parliament buildings. It states, among other things, their intention not to register and calls the law a "colossal waste" and a violation of their Charter rights and freedoms.
Paul Marsh, an RCMP spokesman, said he would not speculate on whether Turnbull would have been arrested had his guns been registered.
"He was arrested only for carrying a weapon while attending a public meeting," he said. As for the others who held the receiver, "they've been directed to identify themselves at the police office if they feel that there's still a case for them to be arrested."
These matchups would top dandy fight cards in 2003
Contra Costa Times - December 28, 2002
Many of these suggested bouts are in the hands of promoters Boxing notebox
IF THE PROMOTERS somehow could be taken out of the equation, here are some fights that boxing fans would love to see in 2003.
Lennox Lewis-Wladimir Klitschko: In some ways, this kind of reminds me of Gerry Cooney against Larry Holmes, a bout that Holmes won by TKO in 1982. At the time, Holmes was a dominating champion and Cooney was a guy who beat up a bunch of past-their-prime fighters. No one was sure if Cooney was a fraud, even though his power looked devastating at times.
Although Holmes wore down Cooney, the challenger proved he did have some solid skills. It's hard to tell how good Klitschko might be since he hasn't faced a Mike Tyson or an Evander Holyfield. He does have a victory over Chris Byrd, who just made Holyfield look old and slow.
Klitschko is a big fighter (6-foot-6) with long arms and a pretty good jab. He has solid hand quickness but shows little movement with his legs. That might not hurt him too much against Lewis, who is comfortable most of the time walking around with his opponent. Both fighters have power, so the bout probably wouldn't go the distance.
Although Lewis is preparing to fight Klitschko's brother, Vitaly, he has stated that he would like to face Wladimir, the better of the two brothers, before he retires. It could be as early as late 2003, which would make boxing fans giddy.
Tyson-David Tua: These two heavyweight bombers can't handle guys who stick and move anymore, so why not put them together? They could tap gloves in the center of the ring and then batter each other until only one is left standing. If fight fans loved the Micky Ward-Arturo Gatti fights, they would flip over this matchup. Tyson has a very difficult bout against Cliff Etienne scheduled for Feb. 22, and Tua is scheduled to get together with Hasim Rahman on March 8.
Both fighters easily could lose those bouts, but fight fans probably wouldn't care. Tyson-Tua could go pay-per-view and the bet here is that it would rake in the loot. Unfortunately, this bout is probably a long shot for this year. Tyson knows that his reputation can't stand more losing and facing Tua would be a big risk.
Tua probably would be in favor of the bout because he would be paid handsomely, but he also has to consider his ranking if he beats Rahman, a win that could propel him into a mandatory title shot position.
Dariusz Michalczewski-Roy Jones: You've got to feel sorry for Jones, who simply lacks an adequate foil to become cemented in our thoughts as one of the best fighters ever. Instead of facing Michalczewski, who appears to be the only boxer in his division who would test him, Jones has to move to heavyweight to participate in somewhat of a freak show.
Jones is going to face John Ruiz on March 1, probably with the thought that Ruiz isn't the kind of banger who could damage him. If he wins that bout, he will get (float-like-a-butterfly, peck-like a) Byrd later in the year. Unfortunately, Jones' calling should be to become the best light heavyweight or super middleweight we've seen.
He is taking the money instead, presumably to purchase an NBA franchise to enable him to play basketball alongside Jason Richardson. Fight fans should remember that Michael Moorer blew up to heavyweight to chase dollar bills and upset Holyfield to win the title for a brief time.
Unfortunately for Moorer, in the grand scheme of heavyweights, he rates right up there with guys like Tim Witherspoon. That's not to diminish his accomplishment, but the fact is that he could have been the best light heavyweight ever.
Joe Calzaghe-Bernard Hopkins: Calzaghe, the WBO champ from Wales, is somewhat of an unknown fighter in the United States, a guy who has been fed a string of opponents whose only job is to make him look good on cable TV. Still, most boxing publications rate him as the best super middleweight in the world, even above the very talented Eric Lucas, who holds the WBC belt.
Looking around at middleweight, there doesn't seem to be an adequate opponent for Hopkins, who easily should be able to handle a rise in class. The problem here is that Hopkins is a satisfied boxer who doesn't care what people think of him. He understands that boxing is all about money, and that he can make lots of it fighting guys he can handle easily. It would take a major offer to get Hopkins in the ring with Calzaghe.
Kostya Tszyu-Floyd Mayweather: What a wonderful gift this one would be to boxing fans, who would be watching two of the world's top pound-for-pound fighters at their peak. Mayweather is a strong, solidly built fighter who should be able to stand the rise to 140 pounds. Tszyu has proved he has the skills to handle opponents who have tremendous speed (Zab Judah). Lightweights such as Leonard Dorin and Paul Spadafora would claim they can handle Mayweather, but he is truly the class of that division. Let's hope promoter Bob Arum can find a way to pull this one off.
