College football is a sport that bears the same relation to education that bullfighting does to agriculture. ~Elbert Hubbard

Football combines the two worst things about America: it is violence punctuated by committee meetings. ~George F. Wil

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead. ~Erma Bombeck

William Blake/ The Tiger

TIGER, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat,

What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? What dread grasp

Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears, And water’d heaven with their tears,

Did He smile His work to see?

Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Eat, drink and be scary. ~Author Unknown

At first cock-crow the ghosts must go
Back to their quiet graves below.
~Theodosia Garrison

One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
~Emily Dickinson

Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn’t even the star of his own Halloween special. ~Chris Rock


And as long as we are going down this road now is probably a good time to hear from Michael Jackson, too. MJ who died the way he lived and lived the way he died.

Michael I hope you are happy (wherever you are) and finally have a nose you can  enjoy for a long time.   Why not get together with Janis, Elvis, Jim, John and the rest and do something like We Are The World Beyond?

Someone from back home has inspired me to think about doing some wedding photography. So I have been practicing. What do you think so far?
