Ponder This One
Perhaps I will have a new regular or semi-regular category of posts just to ponder a quote. I have done that irregularly in the past. Maybe it's time to be a little more consistently inconsistent. So I will start this year with our "good looking AND above average" Minnesota philosopher of excellence, Garrison Keillor:

"The greatness of America is that it produces exuberant geniuses like Louis Armstrong and Fred Astaire and Leonard Bernstein. We are meant to be a jazzy people who talk big and jump on the table and dance; we aren't supposed to be dopey and glum and brood over old injuries."
