February 2009


For the second time in a couple of months we’ve been attacked by random acts of senior discounting.  Today, at Wendy’s after we ate, I looked at the receipt and it contained a 10% discount; and a month or so ago, we noticed that there was a discount on our garbage bill; which just showed up.  I guess they figured that if we’d been a customer for 20 years, we must be old and grey.

Both of which are true….

I’m finally creeping up on my mental age — which has been 65 since I was about twenty.

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

    With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote “The Hokey Pokey”, died peacefully at age 93.   The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.  They put his left leg in.  And then the trouble started.

When someone tells you something defies description, you can be pretty sure he’s going to have a go at it anyway.

Clyde B. Aster

If it were only true.

Never let the future disturb you.  You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121 AD – 180 AD)

Don’t you just hate when this happens

I hate to wake up in the morning & find fucking snow on my car!
