Dusting
"A house becomes a home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture." I can't tell you how many countless hours that I have spent CLEANING! I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect - "in case someone came over". Then I realized one day that no one
came over; they were all out living life and having fun!
Now, when people visit, I find no need to explain the "condition" of my home. They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun. If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice. Life is short. Enjoy it!
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better,
to paint a picture or write a letter,
bake a cake or plant a seed,
ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
with rivers to swim and mountains to climb,
music to hear and books to read,
friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there
with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go - and go you must
you, yourself, will make more dust!

A Blessed New Year Everyone!
William Howard Taft weighed 335 lbs. which is a lot even for his six-foot
frame.
One day someone pointed to Taft's massive stomach and asked, "What are you
going to name the baby?"
The president replied: "If it's a boy, he will be a junior. If it's a girl
I'll name her Helen. But if, as I expect, it is only gas, I'll name it
after you."

Orange Tidbits
By Register Staff Report

FERENTZ HONORED: Iowa's Kirk Ferentz has been named national coach of the year by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
Ferentz, in his fourth season, was named Associated Press coach of the year last month after leading the Hawkeyes to a share of the Big Ten Conference title, just three years after his team had 1-10 mark.
The Hawkeyes, 11-1 overall and ranked third nationally, play Southern Cal in the Orange Bowl.
Ferentz will be honored at a banquet at the Yale University Commons on Feb. 8.
SENATOR ON SIDELINE: Florida Sen. Bob Graham plans to work the sidelines in Thursday's Orange Bowl as an official member of the chain crew.
"He is a very big football fan, and I think he thought this would be a great opportunity to mix and mingle again," Graham spokesman Paul Anderson said.
The senator worked last year's Orange Bowl as a photojournalist for The Palm Beach Post.
Graham has spent one day a month during the past 27 years working different jobs, including firefighter, waiter, baggage handler and garbage hauler.
Last week, Graham said he was considering a bid for the Democratic nomination for president in 2004. Graham has said he will make a decision soon.
With its leadoff caucuses, Iowa is considered a key political state on the presidential campaign calendar.
"The fact that it's Iowa may have had some impact on his thinking," Anderson said.

Miami Notebook
By KEN FUSON
Register Staff Writer
01/01/2003
Miami, Fla. - More than the University of Iowa football team has something at stake in Thursday's Orange Bowl.
Gov. Tom Vilsack says the entire state does, too.
Vilsack, who's here for the game, said the state will benefit in three ways from the U of I's gridiron success this season.
First, "it gives us a venue and an opportunity to talk to companies with Iowa ties, like Ryder Trucks."
Second, "it creates a sense of pride within the state that gives young people a reason to say, "I'm from Iowa." "
Third, "it gives an opportunity for the rest of the nation to learn about Iowa. When 40,000 people come down here to support their team, I'd say that suggests something about the pride we feel."
By the way, Vilsack said he tried to contact California Gov. Gray Davis to place a friendly wager on the outcome, but he never heard back.
"Must not be too confident," Vilsack said.
Those recount jokes just won't go away
Look for U of I sophomore Jason Lees, 20, of Eldridge during the Orange Bowl telecast. He's been plotting his strategy for getting on TV.
He settled on this sign:
Can I get a recount? Banks for Heisman.
Someone else suggested this:
Welcome to Iowa City, Fla.
Population 50,000.
Team asked to bring special U.S. flag to game
Members of the 132nd Fighter Wing of the Iowa Air National Guard hope the Hawks will bring a U.S. flag to the Orange Bowl field that was flown over northern Iraq in an F-16.
"It would be a great tribute, especially for the men and women from Iowa that have watched this season's heroics on the field on the Armed Forces Television Network," said Tech Sgt. Jeff VerSteegh.
VerSteegh sent the flag to Miami with representatives of KCCI-TV in Des Moines. It was presented Tuesday to offensive coordinator Ken O'Keefe and several players.
O'Keefe and the players said they would take the flag, and the request, to head coach Kirk Ferentz.

Proud parents have sizable Hawk wardrobe
Following a college football team can be an expensive proposition for the parents of a player. Each player is given six tickets for the bowl game, but relatives must pay for their own travel arrangements.
"It don't matter," said Rich Pagel of Plainfield, whose son Derek is a senior defensive back.
Pagel and his wife, Jeanette, wore matching Hawkeye baseball warmup jackets, with "Pagel" scrolled across the back and their son's No. 25. That's just a sample of their Hawk attire.
"I've got long-sleeve shirts and I've got turtlenecks and I've got short-sleeve shirts," Jeanette said.
"But no long underwear," her husband added. "I gave all my long underwear to ISU fans."
Miami musings on holiday visitors
D.B. Cooley of the Miami Herald had this to say about New Year's Eve visitors to Miami:
"Yes, the bright lights and complicated rhythms of a city like Miami can knock many a visitor down to amateur status. But you're at a special disadvantage if there's more cornfields than cafes around where you live."
And this: "But it's not just the hayseed from Iowa, or the ploughboy from Kansas, that tends to fall into the amateur category, like a corncob down a silo. If there's one night of the year when the rookie manages to join the party, and the uninitiated becomes over-initiated, it's New Year's Eve."
Other than that, Happy New Year.
