On infidelity...

When asked for his thoughts on infidelity, Paul Newman replied, "Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?"

Well said, Mr. Newman.

Choice

I've been thinking about choice lately. More than usual...and so I give you:

The word that allows yes, the word that makes no possible.
The word that puts the free in freedom and takes the obligation out of love.
The word that throws a window open after the final door is closed.
The word upon which all adventure, all exhilaration, all meaning, all honor depends.
The word that fires evolution's motor of mud.
The word that the cocoon whispers to the caterpillar.
The word that molecules recite before bonding.
The word that separates that which is dead from that which is living.
The word no mirror can turn around.
In the beginning was the word and that word was
CHOICE.

I didn't write this. Tom Robbins did.

Days at work

Lately, when the days at work seem long and challenging, I try to keep this in mind:

Game. Set. Match. Point. Game Over. End of Game.

I was shut down in a similar fashion earlier today while freezing my ass off and waiting for an elevator.

Man: You know you shouldn't be dressed like that in this weather.
Me: I know.
Man: At least you're not working outside.
Me: I have boots, they're upstairs! I just didn't put them on.
Man: You're only human.

(I'm wearing a skirt today with flats. I'm about to put my boots on and go home.)

Home

Go home and watch Planet Earth right now.


And if you've already seen it, watch Blue Planet.


And if you've already seen them both, then I have nothing else to say to you...except this:

I think Planet Earth and Blue Planet are the most important films of our time.

Saying I'm sorry

I apologized to an old man in Fed Ex the other day because I bumped into him.

He told me to watch the movie Love Story and then I would understand why I should never say I'm sorry.
