Driving today I saw a bird walking across the road. I thought "it knows it could fly, right?"

Do step-ladders every feel like they are not a full part of the tool family?

"Whatever requirement or constraint you have, it must come with a name, not a department. Because you can't ask the departments. You have to ask a person. 

And that person who's putting forward the requirement or constraint must agree that they must take responsibility for that requirement.

Otherwise you could have a requirement that basically an intern [from] two years ago randomly came up with, off the cuff.

And they're not even at the company anymore. But it came from the — let's say — 'air loads department'. They're like, actually there's no one at our current department that currently agrees with that. This — by the way — has happened several times."

Driving my youngest today Brass Monkey came on in the car "Are you playing this?" I asked "Yeah, I always play this while I skateboard around windmill island" I've never felt more successful as a parent.

I wonder if raisins were invented by someone who found a grape in their kitchen from like 3 months earlier and was like 'I wonder if I can eat this?'

I think ancient religions mentioned the nurturer, the creator, and the destroyer. In truth this was a prophecy of my college children visiting home.

I hate hotels signs "green initiative" if you don't want your towels washed just leave them hanging up. First, I don't want you to come in my room in general. Second, I do not think our planet will be saved on account of one less washed towel.

As a matter of fact, of course, all education is religious education — and never more than when it is irreligious education. It either teaches a definite doctrine about the universe, which is theology; or else it takes one for granted, which is mysticism. If it does not do that it does nothing at all, and means nothing at all, for everything must depend upon some first principles and refer to some causes, expressed or unexpressed.

Once on an international flight the snacks in the back of the plane was cheese and crackers and I feel like my whole since I have been chasing that high.

Any live action Avatar better have the songs "Secret Tunnel" and "Leaves from the Vine" or it will be a failure in my book.

When traveling and hotel breakfast staff ask me "May I ask what room you are staying in?" I like to answer with the same question - to keep them on their toes.

@lil_vm Sonya and I still use this analogy at 50. We were married at 21 and 25 seemed ancient. More than once we were like 25? Who know anyone 25 that can help us rent a car?

While I appreciate the parable of the widow's mite, as a deacon counting change is annoying.
