PS I'm enjoying a good cigar at the moment that was given to me by a Democratic friend. It's a Monica Lewinski signature series. It's a good smoke and way better than Cubans. I was going to have a scotch with it but my friend said "Don't drink and drive and worse yet, you know what they say. Friends don't let friends vote Republican."

innocently for the relief of sensibilities made a part of his nature."

Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816

"What you're looking for is already inside you...
You can't buy it, lease it, rent it, date it, or apply for it.
The best job in the world can't give it to you.
Neither can success, or fame, or financial security."

- - Anne Lamott

[Carolynn]

Don't ask, it's dangerous to know what end the gods will give you
Better just to deal with whatever comes your way
Whether you'll see many more winters
Or whether the last one is now pelting the shore with the waves
Be wise, drink your wine, scale back your long hopes to the moment
Even as we speak, jealous time is running away from us
Seize the day, trusting little in the future."

by Horace.

An English translation of the poem that gave us the loan word and attitude, Carpe Diem.

[Carolynn]

Depression is anger without the energy.
