“No disability or dictionary out there is capable of clearly defining who we are as a person.”   —   Robert M. Hensel

(This guy is no “Woe is me!” kinda guy.  He hasn’t let his “disability” define him whatsoever.  He is showing the world what can be done with the right attitude.  I couldn’t decide if the F was J,K or M, so I had to Google him.  This is – hopefully – the first of many quotes from Robert, as we welcome him to the Cryptoquote Club today!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away.”   —   Barbara Kingsolver

(If your friend is in need, then go to them.  Don’t worry about saying something stupid.  They need to see that you care enough to really reach out to them.  For them to be well . . . you need to do good.  Shalom/Salaam, my friends.)   —   YUR

“He’s my friend who speaks well of me behind my back.”   —   Thomas Fuller

(Sounds like a friend to me too!  What more could one ask for?  This one was a little difficult to start.  I originally thought the first word was going to be IT’S.  But by the time I made it to the author line I was able to see THOMAS, and that made all the difference.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Happy birthday to Stone Gossard, of Pearl Jam!

“Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.”   —   Anne Morrow Lindbergh

(I had to add Anne’s name to my Tags, but it seems we have had one of her quotes before, back on December 30, 2008.  I wasn’t running the Cryptoquote Club back then, so today we welcome Anne Morrow Lindbergh to the Cryptoquote Club!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Happy birthday to Brian May, of Queen!

“The one sure way to conciliate a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured.”   —   Konrad Adnenauer

(I’m sure that works out very well . . . for the tiger.  I was thinking “conciliate”, but I’d already used the C!  Then, I realized my Kraut heritage, and change Conrad to Konrad.  That freed up the C!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Happy birthday to Wally Bryson, of The Raspberries!  (Good ’70s tune.  Emulating The Beatles . . . with a little help from George Harrison.)

“Clearly, then, the city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo.”   —   Desmond Morris

(I don’t like to rankle the old boy – who’s still kicking at 93, but why can’t it be kinda both?  It’s a concrete jungle-zoo, full of humans.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(But that’s generally a good thing!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
