It all hit me today — the bicycling, the shoveling, the Pilates. I’m limbering up now, but I was stiff and sore from jaws to knees. It was a magnificent soreness, a big big ache I could be proud of.

So instead of getting things done today, I dinked around on the net. One of my favorite places to dink around is Spy’s Spice — so many beautiful and striking and strange things there.

Ben thought that Josh and I should have gotten married in a cold, abandoned warehouse. But no, I wanted to get married somewhere pretty with reasonably comfortable chairs. I guess I could have compromised. Just as well, really, that I didn’t.

And I played the quotation game that’s been going around. Here are my five favorite quotations from the Random Quotation page:

The best way to realize the pleasure of feeling rich is to live in a smaller house than your means would entitle you to have.
Edward Clarke

The one thing more difficult than following a regimen is not imposing it on others.
Marcel Proust (1871 - 1922)

I cannot call to mind a single instance where I have ever been irreverent, except toward the things which were sacred to other people.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), “Is Shakespeare Dead?”

Doing a thing well is often a waste of time.
Robert Byrne

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr. (1900 - 1965), Speech in Detroit, 7 Oct. 1952

(Too bad, no Horace in this batch. I have a soft spot for Horace.)
