When I was growing up in the '60s I would have thought that westerns would last forever.

The team that's on defense first (in overtime) has the advantage because they know whether they need a touchdown a field goal or just a score.

The Buddha taught that we're not actually in control, which is a pretty scary idea. But when you let things be as they are, you will be a much happier, more balanced, compassionate person.

We must forgive our enemies.

No more crying. It's all wetness and no comfort at all.
