Bibi and Agate and I watched Bullit last night. (BULLIT!) Let me just state, for the record that Steve McQueen is magnetically compelling (while hot). Also: the GTO is a sexy, sexy car and Mr. Delorian ought be highly commended for designing it.

This movie in no way ameliorated my sincere desire to become a stunt person. Seriously, people get paid to drive like maniacs in crazy cars though the streets of San Fransisco, and I want in on the deal.

However: I write today, because I am making a book about "conventional wisdom," and I was hoping you denizins of the internet have some to share. I'm not sure what exact definition I'm operating under- things your mother told you? proverb-like? something I haven't even begun to consider?

So: Have any conventional wisdom to share? I can promise undying gratitude and your very own colophon page.

LASTLY: Have you seen this game? It is the knot untying game of awesome awesome(!) awesome(!!), and I am at level fifteen, which with my attention span is really saying something. Go forth and untangle vertices! Much like Steve McQueen, this game is strangely compelling.

Hmmmm...

Proverbs?:
Don't cry over spilled milk
Don't count your chicks before they hatch
Don't pull all your eggs in one basket
Assuming makes an ass out of u and me
Remember the Alamo
Beware the ides of march

Misc Conventional wisdom:
Red and yellow kills a fellow, red and black a friend of Jack

First of all: If you do become a stunt double not only
A) would I not be surprised but also
B) You could perform all your own First Aide!

But my mother has always told me:

"Marry for money, not for love, money lasts longer"
or else
"Use Good Judgement"

indeed, my mother is full of....smart-like things

Can we try a quote from my mom:
"We always cried going away to summer camp..."

And the basics:
'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink'
'What Peter says about Paul says more about Peter than it does Paul'
'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'
'Don't judge a book by it's cover'

This is all I can think of for now... I have so many others on the tip of my tounge, but I can't recall them! Hope this is good enough.
