WHEN IN DOUBT...

Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.
Charles Dickens 

AND SUMMER BEGINS...

 Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world.
-- Ada Louise Huxtable

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) Preeminent leader of Indian nationalism.

SCREW IT!!

 No, really...

BLACK EYE TUESDAY

If your feeling good today and you have a 401K or any government backed retirement savings, DON'T...DO NOT watch or listen to the news today because if ya do, your mood may change.  And speaking of change, is this what Obama was talking about when he was running for president?  HOPE you have a little CHANGE left when you grow old.  Maybe our kids will take care of us...oh ya,  we've already spent their future too.  Thats change we can all believe in!  Now where did I put that last bottle of 2 buck chuck?

AHHH...

LIVING IN THE STATE OF CONFUSION

Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world.
