Twice angry -- the couplet

I have two for you actually. Tell me below (click on "talk to me") which one you prefer:

  1. An angry man is angry again in season,
    when ire abates and he returns to reason.
  2. When he returns to reason, the angry man
    again is angry for his fitful span.

Twice angry

Here's a good one for you. "An angry man is again angry with himself when he returns to reason." --Publilius Syrus

I feel a couplet coming on.

My non-existent cell phone

Was redoing my sigs on my fastmail account. Put down ICQ, AIM, yahoo, etc. (I use trillian), phone number, web site, and then ... "Cellular: None, nenhum!"

Up to now, I have successfully avoided getting a cell phone.

Vicki and I went out to lunch last Wednesday at the veggie place, there was a lady there who went through the line getting her food with a cell phone stuck to her ear. We sat down, Vicki looked over, and the phone was still glued to the side of her head. I suspect she was leaving there to have it surgically removed.

I may eventually get a cell phone, I won't say I won't, but if I do, I'll probably carry it around turned off.

by J. Randal Matheny

Our mutual prayers, confessions, and support

Miss those couplets? Here's one for you today.

Out of the office yesterday

I was gone a good part of the day yesterday, hence no post. Fastmail.fm was off the air yestidy mo'ning, quite a rare thing for them, and all the more frustrating.

A recent exchange with a good man under duress reminded me how many people around me struggle with difficulties and trials, and I never know it. They hold up so well, show cheerfulness, help others, and never moan about their personal circumstances. I need to pray for those!
