In Most Cases

When you are young, you rage against the machine. When you get old, you oil the machine. That's how it works.

A Great Quote about Anxiety

"Ain't no sense worrying: If you have no control over something, ain't no sense worrying about it -you have no control over it anyway. If you do have control, why worry? So either way, there ain't no sense worrying." -Mickey Rivers

A Nero Wolfe Quote

"I demand an explanation! I intend to hold you to account for alienating the affection of my wife."

"Affections," Wolfe said.

"What?"

"Affections. In that context the plural is used." He lifted the glass and drank, and licked his lips.

Kearns stared at him. "I didn't come here," he said, "to have my grammar corrected."

"Not grammar. Diction."

A Great Great Thought

The homily tonight at Mass centered on a quote from Chesterton: "Whatever is worth doing is worth doing poorly." Meaning that if it's important to do, get up and do it, because whatever you accomplish, no matter how little, exceeds what you'd do from your couch.

Boss: I'm in such a good mood tonight. And there's nothing either of you can do to change that. 

Co-worker: That's sounds like a challenge. 

 Me: Sure does. Give us an hour. We can ruin anyone's happiness.

 Whenever I drop something and stoop to pick it up I half expect to hear the sharp whine of an assassin's bullet passing overhead. Having my life spared by random chance would then begin a heroic quest I'm woefully unqualified to handle and yet, somehow, in the end I triumph. #TrueStory

I forget these intelligent words too often:
