There's not a clunker here, Robert, but these two are my favorites:
"Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan."
"To become wealthy, you must not only find the road to riches, but you must not meet an investment advisor along the way."
Thanks for sharing your gift of words so freely.
=)
Love love love the thought about over-watering your grown children - -a word to the wise (or not-so-wise, as I think I might be described!) parent for sure. Thanks for a great start to my day~!!
"Most of us .. need .. a friend to be silly with." or "... to rejoice when we find someone in life who can make us happier than she can." Always so thoughtful of you Robert to add to fellow travelers, so gently.
Enjoyed each and every one of these. So glad you still pop in and leave us with such wonderful thoughts to ponder.
Sue, Jan, Raj, Marlene,
Thanks much -- whether you liked them all or applied a friendly selectivity. I did include an item or two that might not be "transparently true" to everyone.

Love everything you write too, Robert! But I have to choose favorites along with Raj; both of those happily happening in my life right now.
You always give an ahhh... and a smile.
