I was loaded with sheer ability, spelled i-n-h-e-r-i-t-a-n-c-e.

None of my other investments give me the joy that autographs do because they make me feel that I am holding a piece of history in my hands.

It ticks me no end when people get ticked off at those of us who comment audibly and in print on events and problems. That's what we're paid for. Why clutter up your mind with a bunch of facts that might inhibit the solve-ability of us who must express an opinion? After all, all the world cries out for a solution to its problems, and we supply them right and left. Come to think of it, it's we who should be giving our deplorers and detractors the blast; because 99% of the time they don't do as we say.

How would you know what happy is if you've never been otherwise.

Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.

Those who act as if they know more than their boss seldom do.

Over the years, I've evolved a somewhat heretical but time-and mind-saving approach to books, articles, editorials that deal with weighty matters. More often than not, by beginning at the end and contemplating the conclusions, one can determine if it's worth going through the whole to get there.
