That one's good too, but I was thinking of her saying, "Bars closed on Sunday? Man, if there's ever a day I needed a drink it's on Sunday." Technically line from Half Moon by John & Johanna Hall (of "Still the One"/Orleans fame), but I didn't know that til now, all these years I thought it was just her grousing.

11/09 has changed everything.

A great national emergency on many levels is coming.

Our world may end, not with a bang, but a tweet.

Enjoy the holidays as next year we will look back nostalgically and recall these last days of competent governance.

In reply to Oh, come on - you can do

Well, Kris wrote it, but Janis always nailed it. This verse kind of captures what it's like in the new dystopia:

Well I woke up Sunday morning
with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt.
and the beer I had for breakfast
wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert.
then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
and found my cleanest dirty shirt.
and I shaved my face and combed my hair,
and stumbled down the stairs...

I think I will be ok, but my children and their children -- not so much.

Ah, young Rainer - I pass by the house of his youth, but sadly turned into a finance center. Fortunately a tavern nearby to toast his passions and inner nature. And in days of summer, a trip to the south where he abandoned his military studies and prepared for the world. For a side of Rilke you may not know, option 1 & option 2.

Praise the world to the Angel

In reply to Let us glorify the deadly

Praise the world to the Angel, not what's unsayable.
You can't impress him with lofty emotions; in the cosmos
where he feels more feelingly, you're a mere novice. Therefore show him
some simple thing, formed by generation after generation
until it's truly our own, living in our hands and in our eyes.

I cut my teeth on Dickens' "Bleakhouse" in the crib - it's been downhill ever since. How did I know what Ma was reading me?
