Hiya kids! Hiya, Hiya!

Good Morning Crypto-FReepers.

I see some of the same old faces out there.

But that's OK - I like you anyway.

Today's quote is well worth learning and keeping in mind for all of life's issues.

The source is one of my wife's favorite books.

Your clues should be interesting.

Ha Ha Ha!

I'll be good - I will, (like heck) I will.

Ha ha ha.

__ How the Cryptogram Works

In a Cryptogram, a single letter always stands for another letter.

(Example: AXYDLBAAXR might translate to LONGFELLOW. This is just an example and does not apply to today's puzzle.)

If this is your first time, don't be intimidated-the game is very addictive, and you will quickly master the technique! If you find yourself stumped, simply take a break and return to it later. _
