Some people must love to be miserable. The people who shop on the day after Thanksgiving, for example. Or those idiots who are lining up today to but a new iPhone when they could come back in a day or two when the lines are gone. Is it really that important to buy the stupid thing on Day One?
Prayer for the Day - 10 September 2013 I thank The Lord for His grace and for the limitless bounty that He has provided in my life. I pray for those who are less fortunate. I pray for those who twelve years ago kissed their loved ones goodnight for the last time, for those who were lost on 9/11 and in the conflicts that followed, and the families that have lived with an empty chair at the dinner table ever since.
I was running south on one of New York's avenues today enjoying the sunshine on a 7.5 mile run. A guy on a bike passes me and shouts: "You're going against traffic, asshole!" I make a quick U-turn, caught up to the guy at his cycling speed, and said. "I'm a pedestrian. I am required BY LAW to run facing the traffic." He turned and shouted, "You're going against traffic, asshole!" There's an old saying: God must love stupid people, because he sure made a lot of them.

I've had sex with just about everyone! 1980's - Holy shit! I'm glad I didn't have sex with someone who had AIDS. 1990's - Take this pill. It will help you have better sex. 2000's - Do yoga. It will help you have better sex. 2010's - Oh no! Everyone I've had sex with is on Facebook!
