Afterthoughts #1

 A milestone in life is the day the challenge of discovering who you really are is replaced by the challenge of being the person someone thinks they married.


The most basic strategy is to get time on your side.  The most basic tactic is to sit and wait.


Evidence: a body of facts insufficient to prove anything you don't already believe.


Truth: whatever justifies your advantage in life.  If you have no advantage in life, then everything is a lie. 


Reality: a set of default perceptions for people with no imagination


Nothing unites people in a tighter bond than denying the same obvious truth.


The painter has this in common with the golfer -- that both know how hard it is to apply a proper stroke to a still object.


First Love

From somewhere there came a harmony

Of trumpets and strings and saxes, 

And the planet seemed to be standng still.

'Twas I spinning on my axis.
