"When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?""

Once they pull their heads out of his ass, and the realization kicks in, it's going to be too late for them.

A Very,Very Long Cat "You see,wire telegraph is a kind of a very,very long cat.You pull his tail in NewYork and his head is meowing in LosAngeles.Do you understand this?And radio operates exactly the same way:you send signals here,they receive them there.The only difference is that there is no cat"

Two Tamara Lempicka painting you don't usually see. SF DeYoung Museum exhibit was wonderful. Many previously unseen works of hers. The two below were during the Nazi years.

~ Everett Dirksen

"Ah, but to a man like you, someone who believes he could never, under any circumstances find another man attractive, the margin between "practically" and "for sure" must be as wide as the Grand Canyon."

~ from the movie Victor Victoria (1982)

Thoroughly appreciated this film. The story of Lee Miller (Photographer). If you don't know who she is, you will by the end of the film. Her photographs told the story no one wanted to actually hear or see about. Some parts were heart tugging to get through, but the film is worth the watch. <3
