Every day, another bit of my past departs.

Words to remember
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. -Thomas JeffersonNo man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
-Theodore Roosevelt
Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
-Epictetus
I have too much compassion to be a conservative and too much sense to be a liberal.
-Stephen Millich
The fetters imposed on liberty at home have ever been forged out of the weapons provided for defence against real, pretended, or imaginary dangers from abroad.
-James Madison
4th US president (1751 - 1836)
...being tough doesn’t require being stupid. It’s totally optional.
-Scott Adams
cartoonist and satirist
Furious activity is no substitute for understanding.
-H. H. Williams
Ahhh. A man with a sharp wit. Someone ought to take it away from him before he cuts himself.
-Peter da Silva

Darren McGavin was brilliant as the Dad in The Christmas Story.
Don Knotts will be missed. The Incredible Mr. Limpet is a movie I enjoyed very much.
They are both gone but as long as we have memories of them, they will always be a part of our past.

I remember McGavin best for the old NightStalker series - but Christmas Story was great as well. And Don Knotts in The Incredible Mr. Limpet was a classic.
Gone but not forgotten…

You can add Dennis Weaver to the lot. It had to happen, the Rule Of Threes.
