Cranky Large Medium reading, 28 February

Go away.

Why am I still seeing you before me? When are you going to get thee gone? Won't somebody relieve me of this pain? What will it take for you to leave? Ah, yes. A reading. Permit me. Here you are:

If you weren't already greatly enamored of the concept of logic, you might be a fine member of a religious community. Come to think of it, your obsession with science and reason border on religious fanaticism. You should work on finding a reasonable balance between your nutteries. You are fond of the out-of-doors, and should stay away from comfortable rooms -- especially mine.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. That would require a reasonable, balanced mind. Still, even without that, you still have your life, which is more than can be said for these people, who, on this date in history, went to sleep in Abraham's bosom: Cuauhtémoc, Cosimo II de' Medici, Thomas Cushing, Guillaume Bigourdan, Rajendra Prasad, André Dumont, Charles Nicolle, Roger Michael Needham, Owen Chamberlain, Alphonse de Lamartine, Henry James, Maxwell Anderson, Eric Frank Russell, Daniel J. Boorstin, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. John Gwynn, Chiquinha Gonzaga, Bobby Bloom, David Byron, Ray Ellington, Billy Thorpe, Ishiro Honda, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson, Pil Lip "Philip" Ahn, Dermot Morgan, Zara Cully, Ruby Keeler, Mary Stuart, Juan de la Cosa, Henry Luce, Arkady Shevchenko,

and Mike Smith.

Bits and pieces... is that your cake?
Happy birthday, anyway.
