Some Days . . .

Some days I feel like I'm twenty-one and I just can't wait to get on with exploring all the wild and wonderful things life has to offer.  Other days I wonder if I have ten, maybe twenty years left to do the things that I enjoy and the things that I think I should be doing.  At best, that's only about one-third of what I've already had. Don't get me wrong. I'm not regretting anything.  It's only that, in spite of all the trying times I've had over the years, I've been having a blast.

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
-Dr. Seuss

Time . . .

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring


“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.”
― Anthony G. Oettinger


“How did it get so late so soon?”
― Dr. Seuss


“Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its brevity.”
― Jean de La Bruyère, Les caractères


“It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now.  .   ."
― George Harrison

Slough, Dough, Cough. . .

(from The Tough Coughs As He Ploughs The Dough by Dr. Seuss)
". . . Dearest creature in creation, study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy, make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word, sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you with such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery, daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles, exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar, solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral, kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind, scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet, bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food, nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad, toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation’s OK when you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, friend and fiend, alive and live. . ."


. . . and oh yeah. . . another take on Mr. Graboski's
Slough of Despond
written by John P. Graboski
(OHO rehearsal recording-
Jay Graboski, David Reeve and Ray Jozwiak are OHO)
