Quote of the day
Ann Landers
"At age 20, we worry about what others think of us.
At 40, we don't care what they think of us. At 60, we discover they haven't been
thinking of us at all."

Legal Life
New York Times
At the Chicago office of Perkins Coie,
partners recently unveiled a “happiness committee,” offering candy
apples and milkshakes to brighten the long and wearying days of its lawyers.
Perhaps this will serve as an example to other firms, which studies show lose,
on average, nearly a fifth of their associates in any given year, in an industry
in which about 20 percent of lawyers over all will suffer depression at some
point in their careers.

Buskin, the Oratory Cat
From the Parish newsletter
"Buskin has retired to a country place with
better facilities for the needs of the older feline. He telephoned to thank his
friends for their years of unreciprocated affection and to say he is
well!"
I will always remember him atop the piano.

In the hall of King Bill
Microsoft's London HQ's rather Expressionistic
lobby.
You know a company is rich when it can afford to waste this much floor space this extravagantly!

Is it possible to love a roundabout?
So often, planning goes awry. Hats off then to
the Headington Hamburger, which gets me home to my beloved wife and cat that
much quicker.

Reposted in its entirety from the New York Times
All They Are Saying Is Give Happiness a
Chance,” by Eduardo Porter (Editorial Observer, Nov. 12), made me
smile. Despite the fact that I have few of the trappings of success, I am
happy.
While I have a human desire for financial gain, fulfilling romantic relationships and international accolades for my brilliance, I do not have (or reasonably expect) any of those things. And yet, I am happy. I struggle to pay my bills, wonder if those are old-lady wrinkles sneaking onto my face and gesture obscenely at other drivers when they cut me off. Still, I am happy.
What I can offer to Mr. Porter is support for his theory that time is worth more than money. I have a job and a life that gives me the time and space to read, play with my dog, dine with my friends, stare into space and generally get plenty of happiness-sustaining mental candy.
I’m glad that the world is full of people who need to do and to be and to know — relentlessly and aggressively. They create the noise and pressure that typify modern life, and they give me something to look at when the leaves stop spinning in the wind.
