Extremely glad I got to experience Venice before Bezos besmirched it.

One very cool thing about ageing is knowing people are going to judge you no matter what you do and realizing you stopped caring about that years ago.

Harry Dean Stanton's and Elmore Leonard's corpses are still far cooler than Johnny Depp will ever be.

You got it: if you're going to get criticized no matter what you do you might as well do whatever makes you happy.

The best satirists are cool because they don’t give a f—- what people think of them and are free to say sane things. You have put yourself in the same league as George Carlin with this one!

That's a tough league. But thanks for the promotion.

Whether you believe in the Bible or not, there is a lot of good wisdom in it, including the fact that vanity- seeking the approval of others- is as substantial as a passing breeze. A life worth living is not concerned about what others think. Now that is cool.

I don't believe everything in the Bible (I also don't believe everything in the Boy Scout Handbook) but as you suggest there's plenty in there worth remembering.

Brilliant! A keeper to bring light to dark days and sanity to the insane asylum called this fascist magat regime.
