Line of the day-- I did someone a favor and they said thanks, I'll worship you till the end of the week.

The old people just barely moving down the street on their own power, or using walkers to get around. What great courage it must take to leave your house knowing how extremely frail and wobbly you are, but still saying I need to get there so I'm going. That struck me today when I saw a very old woman inching down the street on a wheeled walker and stopping for a rest every few steps. I wonder if I'll have such courage when I am that old and infirm.

I have very little hair yet whenever I go to buy shampoo at the drugstore I am invariably frozen in place trying to decide from the enormous variety which one to choose, and that's just something as trivial as shampoo. While teaching I used to say to the students you have a choice-- you can go to a restaurant that has two things on the menu-- steak and fish. Both are delicious and perfectly prepared. Or you can go to a restaurant that has a menu forty pages long, all of the offerings delicious. Which do you want? Usually the kids opted for the long menu despite the fact choice can be confusing and ultimately disappointing. I used to agree but I don't know anymore. A lot of the time I prefer the restaurant that offers only two things and since I don't like fish, it's that much easier.
