Anyways Is Not a Word

“Anyways” is not a word. Thanks.

Update: Someone who knows Terry Gross personally, would you please clue her in on this? It may be her only fault.

Happy Easter

My cousiniece Olivia, Easter Egg Hunt, 2003.

That’s my dad behind, pointing to an egg hidden in the pine. So why a photo from last year? I don’t know. There just isn’t a lot of Easter decor around here. (Except for these really lame arm-length twigs they sell in stores. Each has a fake, colored feather attached to the end. No one can tell me what they mean. They bother me.)

From The Talmud

Who is rich? He who is happy with what he has.

I just heard this from a rabbi on a radio show. I didn’t know the quote before today, but I’ve been thinking that very thing, of late, as I somehow grow happier, even though I am as poor as I have ever been and haven’t acquired any new money or goods.

Buggy

There is a fruit fly that has followed me since day one in this country, hiding somewhere, perhaps under my lapel, and revealing himself only when I am holding some food, at which time he materializes, hovers about, directly in front of my face, and deftly avoids any attempt to catch or destroy him. I hope winter does the job.
