    Patrick may be gone but his light will burn forever! He was an inspiration to me as a kid and he’s still an inspiration now that he’s gone. I will never forget this man till the day I die and when I go, I hope to meet him in heaven one day and shake his hand.

    This was a very inspiring story for men as well as females – his respect for his parents, especially his father made him the man men want to be & he was proud of his accomplishments – Nasty comments calling him egotistical came from the lowest of the low!

    Hello there, Happy Fool’s Day!!!

    A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “If I show you a really good trick, will you give me a free drink?”
    The bartender considers it, then agrees. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues.
    After the man finished his drink, he asked the bartender, “If I show you an even better trick, will you give me free drinks for the rest of the evening?”
    The bartender agrees, thinking that no trick could possibly be better than the first. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues. The man reaches into another pocket and pulls out a small frog, who begins to sing along with the rat’s music.
    While the man is enjoying his beverages, a stranger confronts him and offers him $100,000.00 for the frog. “Sorry,” the man replies, “he’s not for sale.”
    The stranger increases the offer to $250,000.00 cash. “No,” he insists, “he’s not for sale.”
    The stranger again increases the offer, this time to $500,000.00 cash. The man finally agrees, and turns the frog over to the stranger in exchange for the money.
    “Are you insane?” the bartender demanded. “That frog could have been worth millions to you, and you let him go for a mere $500,000!”
    “Don’t worry about it,” the man answered. “The frog was really nothing special. You see, the rat’s a ventriloquist.”

    Happy April Fool’s Day!

    Swayze was an amazing actor. I can’t believe that it has been two years since his passing. I love all of his movies and I am in the middle of reading hsi book right now. It is nice to learn something about someone in a book that they wrote and the pictures are amazing as well. He is greatly missed. We own all of his movies and watch them all the time. My mom named my brother “Dalton”, because she loved him in roadhouse! :)

    You can certainly see your enthusiasm within the work you write. The world hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart.
