Sunday Funnies

Teddy Roosevelt, in his early 20's and having the time of his life, was told by a doctor that he had heart problems and that he must be less active, a lot less active, and for sure never to run up stairs. TR told the doctor in no uncertain terms that he would do no such thing and went on to be even more active. His heart did give out on him in the end but not till TR had had a full and very rewarding and successful and most active life. TR died at age 60. (If you had forgotten, I'm reading David McCullough's Mornings on Horseback, a 'bully' of a book.) Timeline of TR's life.

Tiger near the bottom at the Players. Diane suggests, on hearing that Tiger played last week as well, that he consider not playing two weeks running since he is an old man now. Hmmm, 31 is old man territory for Diane? Interesting.

Phoenix Woman's take on today's talk shows (from FDL): "Guano!"... provided by "Sabbath Gasbags".

Time to be a little more active. Sun is shining, wind is up, temperature is moderate. Lovely Mother's Day. I'm going to go find a big mowing machine and bring it over here to do a little grass trimming.
