1. Very poor sitting and waiting skills.
2. Not gonna eat broccoli, no matter what you do to it.
3. Can't get it together to floss more than once a day.
4. I have one of those signs on my wall that lists a bunch of things you should and shouldn't do, like "Always stop and buy what kids are selling in their front yards. Be the first to say hi. Wave at kids on school buses. Marry only for love. Always do what you say you are going to do, no matter what."
5. It's okay if I don't hear another Who song the rest of my life.
6. Mac user since '84. Feb '84. Woulda been Jan, but Apple couldn't deliver.
7. iPhones are great for everything but phone calls.
8. Zoos make me sad.
9. Outside makes me happy. Especially at recess.
10. If Sigourney or Jodie are in the movie, I am going to the movie.
11. Dark semi-sweet chocolate: not just a chick thing.
12. Feeling bad today? Do something good for someone else. It's like magic pixie dust or something.
13. Best thing about higher ed? You learn where settled facts end and BS begins.
14. As Elwood P. Dowd put it: "In this life, you can be oh-so-smart or oh-so-nice. For years, I tried to be smart. I recommend nice."
15. You can think it, but don't say it. Once it's out, you can't take it back.
16. Things don't matter. The more you have, the more you have to carry or take care of.
17. Multi-task to get through the day, yes. But to create something really good, I can only focus on that alone.
18. Does it have to be 25? This is getting tedious. For you, too? I know how you feel.
19. Don't just make money. Do or create something that matters. If you can't get paid for it, do it for free. You'll be better off and so will the world.
20. Is there a chance in hell now that our country could stand for something more than making movies, rock music and war around the rest of the world, now that we have the fascists out of office for a bit?
21. I can't do old. When the time comes, it's gonna have to be black capsule.
22. Wouldn't it be cool if we really did make contact with another, more advanced civilization?
23. Stinks that our economy has to be so focused on buying stuff. Who needs more stuff? We gotta figure out a better economic focus than merely consuming goods.
24. Had the best beer of my life last yr, at the shop at the park gate after climbing Kilimanjaro. And the 2nd best.
25. Speed rules. So does music.
Fork in the Road
C'mon, you can take it.
