This and That

 Ceaseless self-promotion department

I was just rereading a sweet story of power exercised on behalf of love from my young life and decided to share it: 

Adjourning the Connecticut house so I could see my  girlfriend

Engineering Wisdom
As an undergraduate, I learned something important. When you are working on a project, select which two of these three characteristics you want, because you can never have all three: done right, done on time or done on budget.

To the tune, cleverly, of Camelot.

Time to Remember Normie
They say you’re not really dead until no one remembers you. Because I want my best man, my good friend and roommate, the smartest, best-looking man I have ever known, to live on, I will offer a periodic reminder that you should look at my Norman Sandler page. He died too young.

Can we be great again?
This from a journalist friend (an immigrant) who was asked whether America can regain its leading position and return to normalcy. His answer: “Call me overly optimistic, naive, even foolish. But judging from history -- America defeated the Great Depression, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, won the race to the moon, buried the Soviet Empire and became energy independent in less than a generation-- it can be ‘great again’ with proper leadership.”

Another Blessing
I am blessed with a plethora of brilliant college friends, each capable of turning a phrase. I shared one of my Vicki love poems with a woman I was fond of at MIT. She called the poem a treat, and then moved me by informing me that I had “won the lottery of love.” She’s right of course, but I’d never have thought of putting it that way. Amma says not to be jealous of the $10 million lottery winner, but to be grateful you have won the $1million lottery. I have no reason for jealousy; I won the $10 million lottery. And since I understand statistics, I know EXACTLY how lucky I am to have won. I am grateful every day.

Stopped Clock Department
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Trump posthumously pardoned Susan B. Anthony of her federal conviction (by an all-male jury) for voting in the 1872 election.

Fun Fact
I learned a half-century ago that it takes milk the size of a double bed to make cheese the size of a pillow.

Proof That Cats Will Be Cats, No Matter How Big They Are
A friend of mine sent me a bunch of cat pictures. Couldn’t find all of them but found most of them at 24 Hilarious Pictures That Prove That Cats Will Be Cats No Matter How Big They Are.
