I’ve been collecting interesting bits for decades and I need a place to store it … a place where it’s easy to find what I want ... a place where a computer crash won’t be a problem.

Enter the 'Cool Stuff Other People Said' blog. I’m going to store it all here and if other people find it handy, that’s OK with me.

Reversal of Fortune on Love

It’s easier to love somebody than to live with them. Love is fantasy. Living is work.

… And those people don’t like to work.

But if you don’t work, the love dies, and nobody wants to deal with that one.
