Grabbed from one of Byron's posts, and keeping to today's theme..
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

This week, America observes Columbus Day. The official date is on October 12th, but the Monday of Columbus Day week is considered a bank holiday. In keeping with that thought, here is today's topic

A refuge from my thoughts,
Halting the pain,
That's mine."

Oh! Oh oh oh. While we're on the topic of Happiness and Michael Leunig:
The long history of happiness is unrecorded
And shall remain so forever,
Yet it can be known completely.
A few short notes, however, have been made:
Happiness is the child of Love and Truth,
Who struggled just to live and yet found each other;
And in the crib of all their weariness
Their little happiness lay sleeping.

Many people in my life recently have been faced with life changing events. Some have been sudden, others have been building for a long time, and have finally boiled over. So I’d like to call attention to those that are facing changes by talking about a curious oxymorn.
Today’s Topic: New Beginnings
“This is your renaissance; your new beginning. Any new beginning that is worthwhile starts with pain.”
-Mykal
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end."
-Anonymous

It's Friday! Time to celebrate. Now I may be getting older, but I do remember one good way to celebrate Fridays.
Today's Topic: Beer
"American beer is like so much water."
-Mykal, though all proper beer drinkers share this sentiment
"Beer is God's way of letting us know he loves us and he wants us to be happy."
-Benjamin Franklin
"And malt does more than Milton can
To justify God's ways to man."
-A. E. Housman
"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."
