Advice is cheap – but some things are priceless. Here is some wisdom from
19 years of the grif.net blog (can you imagine I’ve been doing this that
long?)
*Insomnia: “Sleep on the very edge of the bed and you will soon drop off.”
*Survival: “Think. It’s what you do if you can’t thwim.”
*Jogging: “If you oversleep, you will run late.”
*Humor: “Laughter is the best medicine. Unless you have diarrhea.”
Dreams: “If you try to follow your dream, you may end up with a restraining
order.”
*Judging: “People who say ‘Only God can judge me’ ought to truly be scared.”
*Entertainment: “I was watching the dog chase its own tail and thought how
easily amused they were. Then I realized I was watching a dog chase its
tail.”
*Advice: “Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is because
you are stupid.”
