Snippets

* Out the front window, we get the sunsets. I love the tree of course.

* Why does money talk about our trust in God if we live in a secular society?

* Just because one is convinced of something doesn't make it true, truth is born of experience and is inherently subjective.

* The top button of my winter coat popped off yesterday. I considered this life threatening. (and I can't find my sewing kit)

* Icicles are such beautiful creations, each one a unique craft of nature. Unfortunately, they kill dozens of people annually.

* Words I like but rarely use: castigate, pernicious, filigree, bombastic

* I was roaring yesterday morning over the "controversy" surrounding Prince's superbowl performance. Oh my god, his guitar looked like a penis!!! (Really? I've seen quite a few, but never a meter long fretted one.)

*The mango sorbet was a bust. Fruit not ripe enough. I guess I'll have to smell the base next time, wherever that is.

* My two babies.

  3. I like your list of rarely used words, except bombastic. That just sounds too violent.

  4. About the Prince thing....I think some people just breath to bitch about something. It gets annoying.

    Love the pic! You are a lucky man!

  5. The "in god we trust" money is American. There's no way in hell that the USA is a secular society at the moment!

    And guitars have always been phallic! Why do you think we play them so vigorously.

  9. It's along the same lines as the saying "God Bless America" (and my addendum ...and f#%k everyone else!").

    Both your babies are adorable!

  11. I've always found the use of the words "Prince" and "sexual" in the same sentence to be hilarious.

    Adorable pic of your babies.

  12. I had no idea about the Prince "furor." I paid no attention to the Superbowl and hadn't seen anything in the news about it.

    In God We Trust hails back to the early days of the country when as long as you didn't mention a specific God, it was considered non-sectarian. Back then I don't think they had much of a notion about atheists or agnostics.

  17. Sigh...Ever since Whatshername exposed her ninny on the superbowl, we can't have a superbowl without some silly nonscandal.
    I wish I had a penis shaped guitar.
    God, what an achingly sweet picture.
    Why don't you just stay indoors this weekend and play with your babies?
    Sara has the wisest and kindest eyes, and Serge, well Serge is just hot.

  23. Not only on the motto on the money, but I've always wondered why the President doesn't take the oath of office on a copy of the U.S. Constitution instead of a Bible. It's the Constitution, not the Book of Ruth the President's swearing to uphold and defend.

  24. What a cute pic. Plus, how embarrassing to die from a falling icicle.
