| WHO AM I?? |
| The photo above shows an ancient observatory in roman fashion with windows representing 360 degrees of the heavens. I choose this picture as a symbol to go on my "WHO" page because the ancients looked for something greater by observing the stars. I choose to look for greater things here on earth. My curiosity is fed by books, music, theatre, friends, and even (gag) watching the world around me! I sat down in a park one time to watch a squirrel bury acorns and as I wondered if he considered my behavior a rude invasion of his privacy, people around me stared and whispered that there is a guy just staring at a squirrel. Not many of them have poetic tendencies. Mark Twain once wrote "Be good, and you will be lonesome" on the opening page of his book Following The Equator and i took that phrase to heart. I have created an entire life around the idea that you have to get into a little trouble to see what drives yourself and others around you. It's probably best to let the quote speak for itself and leave it at that. Here are some other quotes I find both handy, and true beyond all my suspicions: I never let my schooling interfere with my education......................Mark Twain A wise man once said OOPS!..............................................Jeremy Washburn The most preposterous notion that H. Sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history...........................................Robert A. Heinlein Its so beautifully arranged on the plate, you know someone's fingers have been all over it............................................................................................Julia Child My wife and I were happy for twenty years, then we met......Rodney Dangerfield I'd get pregnant if I could be assured I would have puppies...........Cynthia Nelms The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.....Unknown |
