{Thoughts...Thoughts...}

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.” ― Charles Bukowski

Gee, I wish you folks could see this. Hey Seymour, where did you get this WEEEEEEEEEEIRD plant? -Little Shop of Horrors I had a chance to check out Perry (not Thor as I misnamed it earlier) the Third at the campus of Gustavus Adolphus on Friday night. Thor is a stinky plant that blooms when it wants to. I dig that attitude with plants or people. The trip to St. Peter was beautiful and reminded me of my many many trips through the quaint town when I was in grad school...some time ago. I stopped there on and off but finally got to spend the evening in a sweet town full of nice folks and fun. If you have time for the drive, I highly recommend. Whether you see Thor (stinky stinky Thor) or just jaunting through Southern Minnesota.

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” -Barack Obama

From the Pancake/Walkathon/Soccerathon Saturday....I share with you my observation on 7 year old boys. And why we'll be having a long discussion on personal boundaries in the house soon. And why one does not play DS while waiting in a long line for pancakes...(no one is happy when mom is hungry) And here is my sweet lady with an awesome girlfriend. Keeping warm on a COLD COLD FREEZing soccer day!So brave these two. In shorts. On the field. Kicking grass and keeping names....

“So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around?” ― Nora Ephron

{Beautiful Her}

“She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cosy bed, and to love and be loved in return.” ― starra neely blade
