The most important thing about a man is what he believes in the depth of his being. This is the thing that makes him what he is, the thing that organizes him and feeds him; the thing that keeps him going in the face of untoward circumstances; the thing that gives him resistance and drive.
- Hugh Stevenson Tigner

Dinner fortune worth sharing
My fortune cookie tonight:
"It's better to be approximately right than precisely wrong."
"It's better to be approximately right than precisely wrong."
Maybe so.

Mother's Day
It is the loss,
and the memories …
and the memories …
those who came before us:
our grandmothers
and now our mother …
they have passed the torch.
No longer the children,
we are the top rung …
And they watch over us
through our eyes
and through our hearts.
