Quotes and advice

The weather's awesome, school has almost restarted, but today is one of the last remaining vestiges of freedom...
  • Someone's a little too obsessed with their image...
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
P J O'Rourke
  • This one speaks for itself:
Write a wise saying and your name will live forever.
Anonymous

Lastly, some excellent advice dispensed by my brother, but never actually practiced by him (or by me, really):

Sebi: Go to sleep early. Wake up early, and give yourself half an hour to do nothing in the morning. Then maybe you'll start doing stretches and other exercises.

This actually reminds me of a fitness instructor early riser that I knew. One day she brought in a pan of baklava that she had made because she had some extra time in the morning. Imagine that; I don't even have time to feed myself, some mornings.

It also reminds me of Seraphim, a 6 year old boy whose family visited our parish this week. His question left me impressed with his understanding of God, and wishing that if I have kids, they will say stuff like this too.

Seraphim: Do you know how my daddy serves God? [or the Church, I forget which]
Me: How?
Him: He gets up at 5 am, and gathers all the ingredients, and makes the prosphora.
