Orange juice and low-fat two sweet rolls this morning.

I use Blogger, as such, I do not have integrated comments. Not that I think I get a lot of readers, but it does seem like a standard feature. So, I am trying to work on a home grown solution.

Gretchen went with a friend to go have her horse’s shoes reset early this morning, so I didn’t get any breakfast. I know, I’ve only been having a glass of orange juice lately, and I can pour orange juice just as easily as she does, but I’m not really what you would call a morning person, and I just now even thought about it. However, I think I’ll be making up for it today. One of the managers here in the office gave me a ticket to go hear Jack Valenti speak at the Faculty Staff Club over at the Penn Stater over lunch — lunch is included. So not only will I not be having my miniscule lunch, but I won’t be walking either.

Apart from that, he sounded a lot like I imagine Samuel Clemens as having sounded. Wise, worldly, insightful answers to deep questions. Answers that make you think, with the possibility that they sound really good, but are wrong nonetheless. I had a small green salad, some proven&ccedil;al vegetables, a penne casserole, a cup of hot sausage soup, and a slice of apple pie (oink).</ins>

The Starfish

An old man was picking up objects off the beach and tossing them out into the sea. A young man approached him and saw that the objects were starfish. “Why in the world are you throwing starfish into the water?”

“If the starfish are still on the beach when the tide goes out and the sun rises high in the sky, they will die,” replied the old man.

“That is ridiculous. There are thousands of miles of beach and millions of starfish. You can’t really believe that what you’re doing could possibly make a difference!”

The wise old man picked up another starfish, paused thoughtfully, and remarked as he tossed it out into the waves.

“It makes a difference to this one.”
