When Caydan and I were waiting in line for early voting for the 2008 Presidential race.
Caydan thought Barack Obama would be there so we could tell him we wanted to vote for him.

My dad gave me a bumper sticker magnet with an American flag and the words "God Bless America" and I ended up cutting it into this new phrase. The way I see it God has given us countless blessings of life. What do we do with all these blessings? We have war, we kill each other, we totally have no respect or appreciation for this rare gift. Yet we still want more blessings or gifts from God. So perhaps we should bless God for a change in other words give a gift back and finally stop killing each other and treat each other with the respect we all deserve then maybe God will begin paying attention to us again. How many more centuries will it take for us to finally learn from our mistakes?

-having been a camp counselor don is accustomed to encouraging kids
to keep going when the trail gets tough. in a gallant effort to encourage
me to continue hiking, through the pouring rain, up a rather feisty
mountain, he had been saying "you're doing great" (with an
unintended condescending tone). i finally told him to shut up. the next
time he almost said it he just said the first thing he could think of....."i
like to eat poop!" i laughed so hard i almost fell down the mountain.
every time he said it i was instantly reminded of the awe inspiring
experience of backpacking through the Adirondacks

"So I jump ship in Hong
Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a
course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper,
a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they
give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing
robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with
him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one---big hitter,
the Lama---long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base
of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga...
gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff
me. And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you
know, for the effort, you know.' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't
be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive
total consiousness.' So I got that goin' for me, which is nice." Carl

he came back out into the audience, hordes of people gathered around
Sam. Some one asked; 'Sam, ... What's it like ... What's it like to
hang

I guess Bob got a kick out of it.' " Corky

"Most folks say 'I hate
Mondays!'
So, let's do some math.
There are 52 Mondays in a year and let's assume you work from
ages 15 - 65 (50 years). 52 Mondays x 50 years = 2600 Mondays.
That translates to you hating 7.12 years of your life.
Therefore, don't hate Mondays." The
