Cranky Large Medium reading, 22 August

Go away.

What are you doing still here? Why won't you go? What makes you so cruel? How do I get you to leave? Ah, that one, you can answer! So, then, do tell. What is it that I can do to make you go? Give you a reading. That's all? As if there were anything else I could offer. You promise, this will get you on your way, right? Well, then, say no more! Here you are:

Your smart-aleck manners often get you your way, but at what cost? You are something of a fuss-budget, independent (fortunate for you, as you won't get much companionship). You have the ability to make people see things your way, which is a good thing, in an ophthalmologist.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. But then, who would be, with your life? On the other hand, it's time to think positively. At least you have a life. Whoopee! That puts you a few notches ahead of these people, all of whom, on this date in history, ceased entirely to think, or anything else: Stilicho, Konoe, Richard III, John Dudley, Xianfeng, Jomo Kenyatta, William Whiston, Franz Joseph Gall, Korbinian Brodmann, Oliver Joseph Lodge, Kirk Bryan, Gregory Goodwin Pincus, Jacob Bronowski, Pope Gregory IX, Pope Nicholas III, Maharal of Prague, Giacomo Radini-Tedeschi George Lyttelton, Jan Neruda, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Luca Marenzio, Sebastian Cabot, Louise Huff, Colleen Dewhurst, Jim Tabor, Eduard Pütsep, Cäcilia Weber, Ellen Church, James Smith McDonnell, Gladys Powers,

and Bruce Gary.

Try a rocket o'leave here, please.
Happy birthday, anyway.
