Nothing Ventured, Nothing Lost

*** I have to admit, I had serious existential insecurity as a teen---I used to go to malls just for the reassurance on the mall map that told me "You Are Here"!
*** "My sister said to me "Sometimes I just don't know which way to turn!" "Oh," I said, "I wondered why you failed your driving test 18 times!!"

*** There are two things I don't like about Obama---his face!!

*** My alkie Uncle Saul ---it's bad when they call you the "town drunk" and you live in New York City!

*** I bet on another great horse---during the race he kept looking back for the plow!

*** My obese grand-nephew Roland sure has his chutzpah---he told one of his teachers that he was "too big to fail!"

*** You gotta give Hugh Grant his props ---the man has great acting range. Either he's diffident, insecure , inept but boyishly charming, or he's inept, diffident, insecure and boyishly charming. I mean, you've seen all of his performances, you've seen one.

*** Speaking of props, here goes some more out to Bob Dylan who announced the royalties from his Christmas album will go to feed the poor. He also said a portion will be set aside for listeners to get medical care for their bleeding ears.
