Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Oh Goody, Goody, GOODY!!!

Look what I GET to tackle today:

Mount WASH-ington.

This is laundry for just two people!
Stupidly insane.

You know what this means, don't you???
It means it's been
Entirely TOOOOO long since
I last climbed this particular mountain.

Isn't blogging such a WONDERFUL thing - - - less than a year ago, we'd been out of touch for so long neither of us would have thought of the other unless it was a VERY obvious reminder - - - like DRIVING PAST the other's childhood home.
