Imago Dei?

"You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do." ~Anne Lamott

Food & cultural heritage

"Food is also one of the most easily preserved aspects of cultural heritage through the generations.  I think of all my Italian-American friends who speak Spanish better than Italian, thanks to high school language classes, but who still know how to make a terrific tomato sauce.  Many of my Jewish friends can make matzo ball soup yet cannot recite the Hebrew alphabet.  I have no idea whether my grandchildren will speak Chinese, but I feel certain they will know how to make fried dumplings."   ~Jennifer  8. Lee, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles

Thanks to Uncle R for always passing along fun reads!

Important Things

"The most important thing is that
you love what you are doing,
and the second is that you are not afraid
of where your next idea will lead"

~Charles Eames, designer & filmmaker

Nothing good comes from comparing

Nothing good comes from comparing yourself with others.
That way lies nothing but death.

This blog post has been brought to you by the number...

"17!"* 

Definitely the number of the day.  In Wits and Wagers today, it didn't matter whether the question was miles of line a pencil could draw, number of hours per day a lion sleeps, or number of Weasley kids, D's answer, later picked up by T, was 17.

*  The exclamation point in this case means excitement, and in no way implies  factorial, Tim.
