“Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you’d most like not to lose.“   —   Neil Gaiman

(I feel the same way, but not just about books.  The same goes for songs and movies, and all sorts of works of art.  Oh, and pets!  I’ve never understood some people’s need to list the Top Five this and the Top Ten that, or you have to have One favorite this, or that.  Arbitrary and ridiculous.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”   —   Roald Dahl

(That must be why everybody tells me how great I look!  No brag, but no lie.  As subjective a statement as that is, I do believe that the vast majority of my thoughts are *good*.  Still a realist, but a very optimistic realist.  Surprisingly, this is our first Dahl quote, since I’ve been *spoiling* you guys!  Looks like there are a great many Dahl fans out there.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  I know a guy named Ronald, who lives on Amundsen Lane.  Actually, there used to be two, but one died.  Can anyone tell me why I brought up this strange little tidbit?   —   YUR
