Overheard
"I'm a detective and expecting me to run criminals down and then let them go free is like asking a dog to catch a rabbit and then let it go. It can be done, all right, and sometimes it is done, but it's not the natural thing." ...details

"Most combat vets pick their fights carefully. They look at their scars, remember the madness and are always mindful of the fallout. That's not the case in Washington, where the White House and the Pentagon are run by civilians who have never sweated it out on a battlefield." ...details

"We see the dimming is no longer there," ...details

"Midlife means that you become more reflective... You start pondering the "big" questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?" ...details

"Never As Good As the First Tim" ...details

"I don't trust anyone." ...details

"Brian Greene - string theory's answer to John Cusack?" ...details

"Don't ever travel with your daughter." ...details

"I passed through L.A. on my way back home and I saw those mountains going all the way up from the sea to the sky ... Damn, I ate dinner at the Derby my first night in town. I was going to blow my whole wallet and you know who saw me there in uniform and picked up the tab? Goddamn Clark Gable. I'm not kidding you. I kickin' fell in love with that place and it took me almost thirty years to see past that." ...details

"If you are tempted to do anything silly between now and the time of our departure, just say this to yourself two or three times: 'If he dies, I die.' Say it as if it were out of the Bible -- because it's that true." ...details

"There's nothing more damaging to the soul than a too intense concern with other people's sins." ...details

"Irresponsibility is not a sickness. It's an art." ...details

"A webcam is basically a light cable with a wormhole in the middle." ...details

"We must overcome the notion that we must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre." ...details

My apartment has a pond outside the back door, and that pond has a regular guest: A Canadian Goose.

It's quite charming, really.

Update: There's two of them now. And one was knocking against the glass as I waited for the elevator. Odd, really.
