It really wasn't much of a contest

The most important work you and I will ever do will be within the wall of our own homes.

~Harold B. Lee

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

~Anne Bradstreet

Maybe. If you're good

Love goes out the door when money comes innuendo.

~Groucho Marx

Helen Keller's favourite colour

Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.

~Aristotle

Oops! I promise not to do it again

To anyone who had swung by this site in the past day and a half and has since suffered from bleeding eyes or other physical malaise caused by the horrible clash of colour that had infested your screen while viewing, I apologise.

I was fiddlin' with the template a bit on Tuesday and didn't realise until just this afternoon that I had saved those changes.  Been away from a computer for the last short while.

My bad.

18 (months) and life to go

D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.

~W. Somerset Maugham

Most of the time

Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to.

~J. R. R. Tolkien

Frugal

Be generous but not extravagant, be frugal but not miserly.

~Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib

I could do nothing more than stand there, dumbfounded

The highest result of education is tolerance.

~Helen Keller

Get down, get down

Try not.  Do, or do not.  There is no try.

~Yoda
