Life its ownself....................

 

We're all different.  Life isn't a zero-sum game.  Live and let live.

-Morgan Housel

Ah, history.....................................

      There is so much we don't know. And not just about the future, but the past.

      History knows three things: 1) what's been photographed, 2) what someone wrote down or recorded, and 3) the words spoked by people whom historians and journalists wanted to interview and who agreed to be interviewed.

     What percentage of everything important that's ever happened falls into one of those three categories?  No one knows.  But it's tiny.  And all three suffer from misinterpretation, incompleteness, embellishment, lying, and selective memory.

-Morgan Housel, as cut-and-pasted from here

It is early in the game, but "Unprecedented" has jumped to an enormous lead to be 2023's "Word of the Year".........

 We live in unprecedented times. The recession in 2020 was not so much a recession as it was a lockdown. Using “normal words” to describe the economy in the last 3 years, we believe, does not make sense. 

-Brian Wesbury

Gone but not forgotten...............

 

Still one of the all-time great movies...

In that way, Meatballs is exactly like life, or at least life at a summer camp. There is no script. There is no structured three-act story with a perfect ending. It’s a hot mess of half-remembered snippets, tales that are likely exaggerated, and a whole lot of stupid antics in-between that go nowhere.
