Thoughts For the Day

·        The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

·        The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

·        The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
