I was at Wendy’s this weekend and Lisa looked at me and said “why are the burgers square?” This is a question I have asked my entire life. I have heard many reasons for this during my life but all of a sudden I had a new thought. Dave Thomas was a mason. Maybe that first day he was making hamburgers he had that “This is good work, square work and true work.” Line stuck in his head.
Just a thought that was stuck in my head and figured I would share it with someone.

Thought from Larry
Larry sent me the following in an e-mail. Since he does not have his own Blog I share it with you here.
Beverly Sills - 1929 - 2007
I met Beverly Sills in person once. She was performing at Iowa State. I told her that if I could have had only one night in the theater that this evening would have been enough. And I meant it. I am glad I got to live in the same world as Miss Sills.

How to tell a boy's future profession
An old-time southern, hell fire & brimstone country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.
Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:
- a Bible,
- a silver dollar,
- a bottle of whiskey
and - a Playboy magazine
I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up.
If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be!
If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too.
But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good, low down drunkard, and, Lord, help me.... What a shame that would be.
And worst of all..... if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin', no good bum."
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table.
With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold.
"Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "he's gonna be a Congressman.
