"Unpredictability, too, can become monotonous." -Eric Hoffer

It's bizarre that we call anything "playing god" when most of us have children.

Being hilarious in delivery is not always a great move.

I don't like the imperiousness of hospital staff.  Not all, not even most.  But some of these nurses say, "We like to keep your baby for three days after birth."  I bet you do.  Everyone with customers likes when their customers buy more of their product or service.  Nevertheless, my policy is I have to be convinced to spend thousands of dollars, not told.

The condo collapse in FL is unspeakably tragic.  I can't wait to see the results, though I've got my money on "corroded rebar."

"No healthy man, in his secret heart, is content with his destiny. He is tortured by dreams and images as a child is tortured by the thought of a state of existence in which it would live in a candy store and have two stomachs." –H. L. Mencken
