April 11
Puncture If the young knew and the old could, then much more would be accomplished Patch Relax, make more mistakes, be sillier - play hooky
April 10
Puncture The faults of youth will soon be outgrown Patch If youth is a fault, it is one too soon outgrown
April 9
Puncture The solace of aging is understanding and acceptance Patch Wrinkle your brow, not your heart - don't let your spirit grow old
April 8
Puncture Youth loves beauty, age admires genius Patch Each stage of life has its own intoxications
April 7
Puncture Not being the best does not diminish the gifts I give Patch We all will have moments of great excitement, even danger, but life is mostly most long periods of dullness and little change
April 6
Puncture Past 60 years, you must decide to be either a sot or an ascetic Patch I want to be reincarnated as a buzzard. No one bothers him nor is he in danger - and he can eat anything he wants. He can eat the dead on both sides of every conflict - as can worms.

Puncture An NFL defensive lineman complained about his pay last month in an interview about the threatened lockout / strike next season. Something about greedy owners. This guy is paid millions for sacking quaterbacks fewer times than once a game. They are calling this a fight between millionaires and billionaires. I kept thinking: the owners should do this, the players should do that. Then I saw clearly, "WE" should do something about it. Patch We are paying these guys by purchasing game tickets, watching television, and building stadiums. We should do something about this. So, I decided to not support the madness. I will no longer attend their games or watch TV games. I will tell advertising I quit. I invite you to gone me. Read a book, or play a game yourself. Do both.
