“He who chases two rabbits catches neither.” — Confucius
(You’d think by now I’d be a little keener to “He who” quotes, but I struggled mightily on this cipher! I tried AN, AS, AT, IF, IN, IT, and ON. I guess I was close with WE, but I couldn’t make a W fit in certain other words. And, RABBITS never jumped out at me. LOL! I was thinking BIGGEST or FULLEST. Ugh! So, I Googled “common two letter words”. I gave TO a quick try, thinking TO ITS, but quickly abandoned that. Finally, I saw HE and then I could see the H in WHO! Which helped me to see TWO. I should do the Cryptoquote before the Celebrity Cipher, because that is generally pretty easy, and I get a little cocky! Also, I can’t be certain, but this quote seems a little familiar to me. Anybody else remember it? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to Ritchie Blackmore, of Deep Purple! (Awesome song!)
Fortunately, I spotted the HE WHO pretty fast, and it made for an easy solve. Today’s Celebrity Cipher was a gimme! Thank goodness our scaled-down paper still runs them. Happy Passover/Easter, UR.
Thanks, hal. Both of today’s were pretty easy. — YUR
