One aging Superintendent ponders the things he will do when he retires; another ponders the things he will not do.  (4/13/20)

One Superintendent cannot sleep because he is anxious and another cannot sleep because he is excited about life; one Superintendent wants to sleep because he is tired and another wants to sleep because he is tired of life.  (4/12/20)

A bogie on the first hole is better than a par in the clubhouse. (4/11/20)
