“Do you know how to read?”
“No. It is one of the black arts.”
He nodded. “But a useful one,” he said.

Interesting how having a sister-in-law in the Navy has trumped my long friendship with a retired Army captain.

This film, which I have held in my heart ever since I went to see it with Dad at age 11 and he said, “It seems like the sort of thing you’d write.”
Every one of my friends has been forced to sit through this at least once.

not liking black licorice is a sign of moral failure
I was so bored on a flight from Finland that I asked the stewardess for some black licorice and spent the whole flight eating it until I liked it. It worked
what do you mean you hate black licorice? do you also hate picking at that itchy little bit of skin around your fingernail? do you also hate walking in the rain when a cold breeze cuts through you? do you also hate the feeling of knowing you've let down a loved one?

It's not fair to punish teams for losing. It's not fair to reward teams for winning. The only fair thing is to declare my favourite team the national champs
