My wife says one thing, I hear another. I say “You need a ‘certificate’ to work in a kitchen now” and she doesn’t hear me.

“What do you know?” she says.

“This country is turning communist?”

REAGAN: When’s the last time you saw me in a cowboy costume?

@EmanuelMacron: Right before the 1980 election.  Prelude to #IranContra?

Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom ~ Friedrich Schiller

Loses something in the translation. Implies “freedom” leads to grace. I haven’t found that to be true, although it can and often does. Grace without freedom, negative thinking. Yes, I can agree with #Schiller. Hard to have grace without freedom.

“You’re the only one that gives me a good deal ’round here.”

“Round here?”

“Yeah, medical marijuana.  I wish they made more edibles.  These tablets over here are three dollars each!”

“Well, I suppose the tablets won’t hurt me as long as I smoke less and concentrate on being attentive.”
