--I HAVEN'T BEEN OUTSIDE IN DAYS
…Since you
haven’t said, I’m going to go ahead and assume you had the best weekend ever.
…It’s been
raining cats and dogs and water buffaloes here.
And the wind is threatening to take out a few dozen trees, but other
than that, it’s just paradise.
…The “Breaking
Bad” finale did not disappoint. It was
simply genius, just as it has been every episode. The only sad thing is it’s over. All hail Vince Gilligan.
A writer at
The Huffington Post had this to day about the show’s conclusion:
“This is more than the end of a TV series. It's a cultural moment, arriving
as the show has logged record ratings, bagged a best-drama Emmy and even scored
this week's cover of The New Yorker magazine….”
…Anyway,
even fawning.
Here are
some things I like at the start of the week:
"I wrote
this book for a sense of personal satisfaction. Just like taking a good
photograph or painting a picture or playing a good golf game or something, it's
the thing in itself that justifies it." William H. Rehnquist, (1924-)
American Supreme Court Chief Justice
"Sometimes
it's hard to chase your dreams." Scott McClanahan
"I
think I'd like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain
determination. ... that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a
pest to life, constantly plaguing and pursuing, will bring results."
Sylvester Stallone
"There
is great power in a resolution that has no reservations in it
--a strong,
persistent, tenacious purpose-- which burns all bridges behind it and which
clears all obstacles from its path and arrives at its goal, no matter how long
it may take, no matter what the sacrifice or the cost."
