Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



When everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much. ~ Walter Lippmann



We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing.
~ George Bernard Shaw



If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh



To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.
~ Reba McEntire



The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
~ Thomas Carlyle



Life is the flower for which love is the honey. ~ Victor Hugo

As per quote #1, I intend to keep on playing, even when my playing might look like work to someone else.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
