A Holiday Cocktail Party Is Where...

...every year you have the same conversation with the same couple about who you both still are. 


...some stranger learns more about you in an hour than your spouse has learned in a lifetime.




...the host and hostess attempt to bring compatible people together by separating married couples.


...there is a rotation that brings married couples back together again every twenty minutes.


...you are always sorry you wrote anything on a napkin.

Life Thoughts

"Will you spend your life pushing a boulder uphill so that, once uphill, you will have a boulder to sit on while regretting your life?" 




"Do things while you can and while they matter to you, because neither is a permanent state of affairs."


"Life is like sailing -- you can use any wind to go in any direction."


"Life is a collection of moments you might have appreciated more if you had only known they were moments."
