Saw this on the wonderful VeryShortList today. One thing you’ll notice in common among the daily routines of successful people is that they all get up really early. I remember being fascinated in high school that Sam Walton got to work at 4am every day. But I guess that’s what it takes.

Just found this at my front door.
When I moved into my new apartment, my friend Lee got me a bunch of ridiculous magazine subscriptions as a housewarming gift (“Garden and Gun” for example).

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury.

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been two-hundred years.

A quote making the rounds on the retired father e-mail circuit. Author unknown. On its face a conservative favorite as it attacks heavy social program spending, though I think it says more about the general transfer of wealth from future generations to our own. When that fiscal deferment catches up with the society is when things collapse.

1) Shooting someone in the theatre and then sitting back down to watch the rest of the film? That’s dedication to cinema.
2) This dude looks more like a “Day The Earth Stood Still” kinda guy than a Benjamin Button guy.
