I consider myself a pessimist at heart. I've gone around the bright shiny thing enough times to know that Murphy was an optimist; that things are never so bad that they can't get worse; that if there are two ways for something to go wrong, it will always go wrong in the more expensive/dangerous/explosiver way; that idiots are quite resourceful; and that just when you think you've made something foolproof, they go and upgrade the fucking fool.
That said, today the sun is shining, it's warm out, lawn's mowed, errands are run, kids are playing happily together, and I'm going to the range.
Sometimes, life is good.
Enjoy today, folks. And remember tomorrow.

I prefer "Just when you think something's foolproof, along comes a moron."
Jay,
First, a shameless plug. On WGBH (Channel 2 in Boston) tonight at 8pm is the Memorial Day Concert, performed by the National Symphony Orchestra. TiVo is a beautiful thing.
You're goin' to the range? Damn you, boy.
And now for some folksy-wisdom . . . Just when you thought you made something foolproof, someone else invents a better fool.
Jay, remind me to tell you about a long-lost, but recently found relative . . . he's a D-Day Vet.
Life is good, sometimes.
Enjoy the moments when the sun shines.
Mike
