WITandWISDOM(tm) - February 3, 2004 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty.

Duffy Daugherty, Michigan State's coach, sent in place-kicker Dave kaiser who booted a field goal that won the game. When the kicker returned to the bench, Daugherty said, "Nice going, but you didn't watch the ball after you kicked it." "That's right, Coach," Kaiser replied, "I was watching the referee instead to see how he'd signal it. I forgot my contact lenses, and I couldn't see the goal posts."

The father, though late for work, agreed to drive her if she'd direct him to the school. They rode several blocks before she told him to turn the first time, several more before she indicated another turn. This went on for 20 minutes - but when they finally reached the school, it proved to be only a short distance from their home. The father asked his daughter why she'd led him around in such a circle. The child explained, "That's the way the school bus goes, Daddy. It's the only way I know."

On July 20, 1969, just minutes after Apollo 11 touched down on the moon, Perry hit his first home run.
