Skip, was a farmer who owned a pig named sally. Sally was scheduled to compete in this years Layton, county livestock show, but she had one problem, she was a hair covered pig. Sally was a wonderful pig in every sense of the word, but her one flaw, had year after year kept her from blue ribbon glory. Several days before the fair began, Skip noticed that Sally was despondent. He wondered what could be wrong, and after a while he had not thought of a solution; until he saw show animals walk by in their groomed and lustrous show animal glory; at that time Sally's head stooped lower. Skip had an epiphany, he would shave sally's hair and enter her in the show. The day of the show arrived and all the animals took the stage, including Sally looking radiantly pink and beautiful. All the animals were judged and the blue ribbon winner was announced. To the applause of the audience the name announced was Sally the blue ribbon pig.

I find it impossible to choose who I would consider to be the most important person in my life, because it would be a toss up between my wife and my son. I believe that there are many people who feel this way, and the fact that you find it so difficult to choose, only makes you more human. When you love and care for a person so much that the thought of losing them creates a feeling of utter turmoil in your mind and spirit, and combine that with the fact that more than one of these people exist in your life, than you know that you have lived your years correctly.

Whether I learn a new skill by reading about it, watching someone, or listening to someone, depends largely upon the type of skill that I am attempting to learn. If I am learning to change an alternator I will usually feel much more mentally empowered with useful information if I were to watch a video. If I am trying to learn a new song on the guitar I will usually want a combination of all the learning styles.
