Another weekend away at the beach...

We had a wonderful weekend, again, at my agent's beach house.  She didn't go, but gave us the keys and her sweet dog (at my request) and we went out to Pacific Beach.  I took quite a few pictures.   The house is spewing with literature ... which I covet.  In reading some of these beautiful books, some of which are signed by pretty amazing folks, I found some of my favorite quotes.  Wrote them down for all of us to reflect upon:

"Wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss, but cheerliy seek how to redress their harms." - Shakespeare 

"The greatest happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved, or rather loved in spite of ourselves" - Victor Hugo

"The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and the beginning of his life."  - Goethe

"It is much easier to suppress a first desire than to satisfy those that follow." - Rouchefoucauld

"Every One must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around;  and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison." - Sir J. Lubbock

"The virtue lies in the struggle not in the prize." - Milnes

"I argue not against heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot of heart or hope, but still bear up, and steer right onward."  - Milton

"He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature." - Socrates

"There is one person who is wiser than anybody, and that is EVERYBODY." - Talleyrand

  

  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Tomorrow:  back to work for Anna-Sama ...  

  Tomorrow night will be spent on the town celebrating Kevin's birthday with a co-worker and his roommate who shares a birthday with Kevin.  They are wonderful guys.  Silas always goes out on the town with the four of us.  Silas tends to be the only kid out in these hipster restaurants.  He, also, ends up being the only one that the ladies are looking at and doting upon.  He's the worst flirt.  It's embarrassing sometimes.  Believe you me ... that boy is gonna be pad-locked into his bedroom at the age of 12.  I'll do it.  You bet your ass, I'll do it!

  So, good night, good night, sleep tight.  And if you have Bed Bugs ... CALL A DAMNED EXTERMINATOR!!!!!!!  That's disgusting!
