Small Business Guidance and Loan Resources during Covid19
At a meeting of the Milpitas Chamber of Commerce I heard several speakers on the topic of financial relief to small businesses because of economic disruption due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. My main takeaway was that each small business owner should get a free business councilor through the SBDC to help figure out which sort of relief funding would be best in their situation. The nearest SBC Center to Milpitas is the Alameda County SBDC at Ohlone College in Fremont. A little further away is the Silicon Valley SBDC – Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on Monterey Rd. Your business is Top of Mind for Us The Norcal SBDC wants…

An Old Man Asks to Talk to President Trump
One sunny day in January 2021 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, “I would like to go in and meet with President Trump.” The Marine looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here.” The old man said, “Okay,” and walked away. The following day, the same old man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Trump.” The Marine repeated, “Sir, as I told you…

T’was 3 weeks before Christmas
Covid Jokes T’was 3 weeks before Christmas, And all through the town, People wore masks, That covered their frown. The frown had begun Way back in the Spring, When a global pandemic Changed everything. They called it corona, But unlike the beer, It didn’t bring good times, It didn’t bring cheer. Airplanes were grounded, Travel was banned. Borders were closed Across air, sea and land. As the world entered lockdown To flatten the curve, The economy halted, And folks lost their nerve. From March to July We rode the first wave, People stayed home, They tried to behave. When summer emerged The lockdown was lifted. But away from caution, Many…

Animal Jokes A Pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again and it won again.

The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent. The local paper,…

Santa’s Prayer
The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed, But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed. “Dear Father”, he prayed “Be with me tonight, There’s much work to do and my schedule is tight. I must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky, Knowing full well that a reindeer can’t fly. I will visit each household before the first light, I’ll cover the world and all in one night. With sleigh bells a-ringing, I’ll land on each roof, Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof. To get in the house is the difficult part, So I’ll slide down the chimney of each child’s heart.…

Letter from Santa
Santa’s Letter regarding restructuring at the North Pole Workshop. The recent announcement that Donner and Blitzen have elected to take the early reindeer retirement package has triggered a good deal of concern about whether they will be replaced, and about other restructuring decisions at the North Pole. Streamlining was appropriate in view of the reality that the North Pole no longer dominates the season’s gift distribution business. Home shopping channels and mail order catalogues have diminished Santa’s market share and he could not sit idly by and permit further erosion of the profit picture. The reindeer downsizing was made possible through the purchase of a late model Japanese sled for…
