"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.”

sharing
So... How you doin'? Since Katie shared the books she's read, I will give you mine so far in 2011:
Born to Run, Christopher McDougall
American Wife, Curtis Sittenfeld
Ordinary, Extraordinary People, Condeleezza Rice
Decision Points, George W. Bush
It leans pretty heavily Republican with American Wife (fictional story based on Laura Bush's life), Condi and Bush's memoirs, but don't worry. I'm still liberally liberal. I set a goal of 75 books in 2011 and I started my 6th last night. On track!
Tomorrow, Mom, Harry and I leave for a trip to Honduras. We'll visit Kari, that one girl who is my sister. I fit everything I'm taking in one backpack. It's amazing. I'll share pictures once I get back.
I've recently been turned onto brussels sprouts, specifically their deliciousness when tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper and then roasted. I've always been a fan of sweet potato fries.
So good. For reals. I had a brussels sprouts craving the other day, which is on par with ridiculous. Andrew, after saying he didn't like brussels sprouts, apparently tried them for the first time and has grown to like them.
