Quote of the Issue:
Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink,
taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
Henry David Thoreau

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So we are now in the thick of winter! We have had two major snow storms in less than a
week and there is still a month to go before spring arrives. I am not a fan of winter but
I am trying to take the Quote of the Issue to heart. There certainly is a different smell
to the air in each season. Spring air is sweet and refreshing while summer air here at the
beach can be salty. Winter air has that heavy fireplace burning smell to it while autumn
air is crisp. Right now the drink of this season is of course hot cocoa with mint in it
for a treat! As for the influence of this season I am learning to play Uno again, doing
sudoku, reading my books that are piled up and enjoying some classic movies. While I try
to keep busy in this bleakest of seasons my heart and mind are filled with thoughts of
tulips and daffodils, walks on the boardwalk and bicycle rides. Hang in there and to drive
away the winter blahs check out a Local Happening or better yet do as I have done head
over to The Barbaric Bean on Main Street in Ocean Grove. Saturday nights they offer some
of the best live music around and you can enjoy amazing desserts with a cup of joe or a
delicious hot drink to keep you warm as well as warm your heart! Take along someone
special to make it extra fun!

Unless you've suffered the heartache personally, it's hard to imagine the array of
emotions you experience as you hold a sick puppy in your arms at 3:00 am. There are many
sick puppies being sold in Monmouth and Ocean counties from both breeders and puppy
stores. Should you or someone you know purchase one of these bundles of love and it turns
out to be sick, you need to go to a new website dedicated solely to the reporting of sick
puppies in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The website is www.ReportSickPuppies.com

Extant Small Business, a technology consulting firm, has donated 10 refurbished personal
computers to the Association of Retarded Citizens of Monmouth County for use by their
clients. Originally slated for disposal because they were deemed obsolete, these PCs were
rescued by Extant for use in a non-business environment. Some of the businesses that
donated to this project were The Senior Citizens Activities Network of Monmouth County,
Joan of Arc Electrical Contractors of Lincroft , Lone Keep Internet, Inc. of Bradley Beach
and Johnny's Garage of Long Branch.
