It is the bastion of the narrow minded to think in polarizations. To any issue there are an infinite number of sides; each time you flip the coin what used to be on the other side will have changed.

Those who ask simple solutions of their leader shall receive one inadequate to the question.

You’re the one who “just happened” to check CL tonight even though you check in here more often than you’re willing to admit to your friends. Maybe you think you’ve got a pretty good life, a good job, good friends, maybe you have a pet who keeps you company at home.

“Actors have short attention spans.” This was an observation related to me by the son of the producer of my last show. Hello! Over here! Still typing! Good. Now that I still have your attention, may I comment on this observation? No? Hello? Hello?! Please stop playing with your phone. Is the text message that urgent? Oh, it’s from your friend. I see. Go ahead. I’ll wait. … Done? Good. Anyway, continuing on where I left… no, put the remote down. Yes, I realize my TV system is cool. I built it.

Speak not of Sultry Spring lest Father Frost return, his icy fingers outstretched, blanketing us once more in his crystalliferous call.

It’s snowing. In Denver. Right now.
