One of the lessons of history is that Nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.
Will Durant

Okay, I’m officially too busy to write, so I’ll share some unrelated bits:

• I weighed myself this morning and was shocked to see it 251.8. Perhaps my scale needs a new battery.
• I ran four miles this morning (before weighing) and it was good.
• I ate most of a pint of Ben and Jerry’s last night (‘The Gobfather‘) and it was very good. I’m proud to say that in spite of extreme stress this week I have not had a drop of alcohol.
• That may change at any moment.
• I had a lesson in patience this morning. I had a box to mail and stopped by the post office. The package drop was locked shut (some note about “excessive weight” on it) so I had to stand in line. I thouroughly enjoyed spending my allotted fifteen minutes watching the Archie-Bunker type have to deal with a string of international students, all of whom had fairly complicated transactions that netted the post office less than a dollar each in revenue. When I made it to the front, I smiled and said “this is ready to go, there wasn’t anywhere to put it,” (I had a prepaid label and it was sealed) and he told me next time just to bring it to the counter and not wait in line. What, and miss the show?
• I want to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Does that make me a bad person?

Duty calls. Leave a comment and tell me what to write about.
