Morning
“The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa.”
“Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse.”
“You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don’t ever count on having both at once.”
“If you don’t like yourself, you can’t like other people.”
“Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.”
“Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.”
-Robert A. Heinlein
Greg Maddux, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, pitched a marvelous game last night-8 innings, only 68 pitches. Very few games are pitched like that any more- quick, with plenty of strikes and no baloney. The way baseball used to be played. Nice.

Noon
So much for the whole “write something every day” routine.
So much of life seems to slip by these days, for me. The saying is that life moves faster as you get older, and you want it to get slower. When you’re young, the thinking is, it moves slower, and you want it to get faster. Of course, it goes by at one second per second for everyone. But you have so much to do, as an adult, I can’t seem to keep up with it all.
