Quotes
- It would be difficult to decide in my roller coaster existence, just when I had my "Best Day." For now, everyday seems as if it should be the best day of them all. I like to think of them as such.
- One of the lines in Man Of La Mancha is, "He carries his self importance as if afraid of breaking it" amuses me immensely. No one should take himself that seriously.
