I would like my Tombstone to read, "He was too Cheap to buy extra lett

When I walk away it doesn't mean you win... it means I'm going to get backup.

Stop looking at your phone. No one texted you.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

Is "tired old cliche" one?

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. 

Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire

  Travel the World: When to Splurge. When to Scrimp, And How to Return Safely to Home Sweet Home Here in Tyler! Commend the hotel manager early in the stay…they may send you complimentary flowers, champagne or chocolates.   Hotel managers always hear the negatives, so if the room and service are commendable, do it immediately—you may even get a complimentary stay. Take a travel size of Metamucil.   We need fiber and in traveling, you might not eat so much salads and such; and too much bread and cheese.   Just take a little bit of Metamucil with bottled water at night and all will be well. Pack a tiny fan—helps you sleep. When traveling, just go for a one meal sort of plan.   A decent breakfast, fruit and crackers at lunch and a reasonable meal—small portions are key—good to try the food but why stash it away as if hibernating for winter.   Moderation is the key—and don’t eat tomatoes in any country for any reason.   Just don’t!

  So, this happened. I did something good for all the bad reasons. No, maybe I did something bad for all the right reasons. Yeah, that’s the ticket. A couple of Mondays ago … I cleaned out the freezers. Threw away anything which was frost bitten … which was just about everything.

Rain, hail, lightning that was so lightening that the darkness-activated landscape lights were blinking … no idea if night had turned into day.

Travel Log for Antarctica Trip—2003-04 December 21, 2003 Hello From Africa I arrived in Cape Town after about 20 hours in a charter flight from New York—it was supposedly the charter plane that the Buffalo Bills football team uses. We had major problems refueling in Ghana—seems the airport official wanted a cash bonus payment—took over 4 hours to settle—we couldn’t leave the plane. Toured Cape Town yesterday. Took a cable car to the highest point, Table Mountain, for a beautiful view of the city and seaside. Shopped at the Waterfront area of Cape Town and, yes, I will be throwing away clothes that I brought with me in order to bring back all the souvenirs. More later. We are now sailing for Tristan da Cunha, which is the most remote island in the world. The inhabitants are all descendents from shipwreck survivors. December 24, 2003 Will Santa Find Me? Today is Christmas Eve and we were scheduled to get off this ship--we've been sailing since Saturday and today is Wednesday--bu...
