A Bridge

A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.

Staight Face

 

A straight face and a sincere-sounding "Huh?" have gotten me out of more trouble than I can remember.

Happy Thanksgiving 2021

Happy Turkey Day!

 

Don't forget to name the turkey and make everyone uncomfortable.

Mistakes

Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes called experience leads us to success.        

Retirees

Why do Retirees smile all the time?

Because they can't hear a word you're saying!

I'm Pete

"Hello, I'm Pete, a professional pickpocket."

 ..... said the man as he handed me my business card.

Diet

A successful diet is the triumph of mind over platter.
 

Veterans Day 2021

 “Civilians seldom understand that soldiers, once impressed into war, will forever take it for the ordinary state of the world, with all else illusion. The former soldier assumes that when time weakens the dream of civilian life and its supports pull away, he will revert to the one state that will always hold his heart. He dreams of war and remembers it in quiet times when he might otherwise devote himself to different things, and he is ruined for the peace. What he has seen is as powerful and mysterious as death itself, and yet he has not died, and he wonders why.”

     ~  Mark Helprin, "A Soldier of the Great War"  ~

INEXPENSIVE ENTERTAINMENT:

At work, put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.    

Consciousness

 Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.  

Appreciation

I wonder if my first cat appreciates being at least slightly immortalized in my passwords.
