WHO  DO  YOU 
THINK  YOU ARE? 

Quote for Today - August 30,  2013




"The small-town boy who gone to fame and fortune decided to visit his birthplace after a 20 year absence, so he could gloat a little over his boyhood friends and surviving relatives.

"Half expecting an official greeting and a turnout of the town band, he arrived at high noon. Looking out the train window he saw empty streets, the same sleepy central square, and the old railroad station broiling in the sun.

"Getting off his train, his suitcase in his hand, he wandered over to the white-haired baggage handler and stood waiting for a sign of recognition and welcome.


"The old man shuffled forward, squinted in the sun, and smiled. 'Hello, Jimmy,' he said. 'Going away?'"
