Quote of the Post

"What ought to be done to the man who invented the celebrating of anniversaries? Mere killing would be too light."

Mark Twain

Perhaps the greatest irony is that Twain was a very happily married man. 

A Bit of a Tribute

This is little early for a Paddy's Day post, but as I may very well be otherwise occupied on the day, preventing dehydration with a beer or few, I'll put this in now.

This limerick, based on a true story, is dedicated to Simone Giertz. I'm a big fan. Check her out on YouTube.


    There was a young woman from Sweden
    Who said, Making things is my Eden
    But when, to her ire
    She set her own belly afire
    Said, My dignity is recedin'

Christopher Mahon
