The Garden Party

Quote 1 - 5 - 12

12 years ago

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Groucho Marx

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

Groucho Marx

Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.

Groucho Marx was more than just a funny mustache and cigar, wasn't he?

The cigar and funny mustache was probably a "Shtick " to get his point across. He did that very well.
Now, on to minnie_tx, point, It's about 5 pm here in CA, it's still today, but it is about 1 am in Norway, and that's tomorrow. No matter what time zone, the family calls.
