funny, smart and important: In the wintertime when the weather is hot

"I don't have anything against Republicans. Just Republican policies." - Steven Colbert

"If holiness is happening, it is happening in the thick of reality, not replacing the world as we know, not banishing death, but defying its terror as the last word."
- Krista Tippett

Bulls vs. literary critics:
"Bulls don't run reviews. Bulls of 25 don't marry old women of 55 and expect to be invited to dinner. Bulls do not get you cited as co-respondent in Society divorce trials. Bulls don't borrow money. Bulls are edible after they have been killed." -Ernest Hemingway

"One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us."
-Kurt Vonnegut

"The majority of women (happily for society) are not very much troubled with sexual feelings of any kind... Love of home, of children, and of domestic duties are the only of any kind." - William Acton, British physician, 1875

“A stern man is a stern man. A stern woman is a bitch.”

In the wintertime when the weather is hot

The view out my window this morning.

We don't have a shovel so Josh and Amir had to sweep the driveway to clear it of snow, and then Josh took the broom to his car.

Amir received the lovely gift of slippers from a friend of ours so now we don't have to see his freakishly long toes in socks and flip flops. It's really a gift for the whole house. Plus they're really warm and I've worn them around a bit since he's left. Oops?
