From Jennifer:

Friend: “Oh, I can’t have those tonight. Tequila makes me naked.”

Jennifer: “”That’s why my husband brings me here.”

“I think — tide turning — see, as I remember, I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of, it’s easy to see a tide turn — did I say those words?”
— President Bush, asked if the tide was turning in Iraq (U.S. News & World Report)

“It’s hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.”
— Bill Watterson, comic strip artist (1958- ), in his comic strip Calvin & Hobbes

“With a rubber duck, one’s never alone.”

— “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”

Shelley, for Planet Nomad Mom. This is one of my favorites, too. Especially:

“We look before and after,
And pine for what is not:
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.”

Happy Memorial Day, everyone. Don’t forget to light your candles.

Wacky Boy, muttering to himself: “What da heck is dis? A daddy long legs? I cannot touch him. I CANNOT TOUCH HIM, MOM!”

Me: “Yes, honey, please leave the spider alone.”

WB: “MOM, I CAN’T TOUCH HIM CUZ HE’S OUTSIDE!”

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.”

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”

— Thornton Wilder

Another one from George Carlin:

“I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it.”

Quote of the Day, from George Carlin:

“Here’s all you have to know about men and women: Women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.”

I’d like to amend that to: Women are evil, men are stupid. And the main reason women are evil is that men are stupid.

Case in point: Tom Cruise. On the cover of Parade mag today, TC asks, “Who’s to say what’s normal?”

I am. You’re not.

Love,

PS — Sorry no advice column and recipes last week — outlaws just left. I’m ready for a liver transplant, per usual. My MIL and I have redesigned my yard (in our heads, as to not interfere with our indoor cocktail hour) to include lots of reds, oranges and yellows. Enough with the pastels. WM back to normal this week. Yes, normal. Run, Katie, Run.

“Tell all the Truth but tell it slant– / The Truth must dazzle gradually /
Or every man be blind.”

— Emily Dickinson, poet (1830-1886)
