More Thoughts of a Wandering Mind

"Statistics are unclear as to how many marriages have been saved by memories of a lavish wedding."


"Love is the most common cause of marriage, marriage the most common result."


"Failure is the insufficient foresight to have a fuzzy enough goal."


"The human species is made up of seven billion subspecies each consisting of one specimen."


"Perception is a clash of mind and eye, the eye believing what it sees, the mind seeing what it believes."


"To use a baseball analogy, seeing your kids safely into their beds at night is a home run, at least 6000 of which are required to get you into the Parenting Hall of Fame."


"As to the Seven Deadly Sins, I deplore Pride, Wrath, Lust, Envy and Greed. Gluttony and Sloth I pretty much plan my day around."

If I ever make it into the Parenting Hall of Fame, it will be posthumously!

Liz, You have my vote. (Now I feel guilty about not playing your 6-word story game. Be right over.)

We've just worked it out that we managed in excess of 6570 but Ash fell out of the bedroom window once and Jon climbed out to meet up with friends. It's the use of the baseball bat that disqualifies us. (only kidding).

The perception quote is so very true.

Ken -- actually I used the number 6570 in my first cut (18 X 365) but decided to give parents a break. Baseball bat, no -- but seems to me that the flat end of a cricket bat could be useful in the nightly round up.

sometimes we don't have anything to do, we spend more time doing something that we don't have to do, I mean we waste our time, also mind in things don't go to anywhere.
