What a large volume of adventures may be grasped within the little span of life by him who interests his heart in everything

but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Herm Albright

And all that jazz!!!

...people who keeps dogs...are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves August Strindberg
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark too read
Groucho Marx
I love being
such as You Can't Go Home Again by Thomas Wolfe or The Plot by Irving Wallace or A Prayer for Owen Meaney by John Irving or Ken Follet's A Place Called Freedom
and I love the of Robert Frost The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
and of Dylan Thomas ...Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
and of William Butler Yeats Though leaves are many, the root is one; Through all the lying days of my youth I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun; Now I may wither into the truth.
and of Ralph Waldo Emerson Success: To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

The angels among us
Angels may not always come when you call them, but they will always come when you need them.

My Mother and Father
You have no birthday because you have always lived; you were never born, and never will you die. You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are. Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness...Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that can never end.
