Cranky Large Medium reading, 6 May

Go away.

Why aren't you leaving? Did you forget how to walk? I can offer you lessons, right over by the cliff, there. so, will you get gone? No. What is keeping you here? Oh, so you came here to get a reading, and you won't go home without it. Swell. Let me resolve this issue promptly. Here you are:

You are stubborn and conceited. You are constantly trying to boost your status among the elite and the informed, but seem to have trouble understanding how to succeed at this. You have a tendency toward pessimism, an attitude not unreasonable, considering your life and your abilities. This is likely to make you even more caustic and bitter.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. Happiness doesn't come that easily. Still, you can look on the positive side -- you're still vertical, as opposed to these people, all of whom, on this date in history, took to their final repose: Robert Bruce Cotton, Maximilian Ulysses Count Browne, Francisco de Paula Santander, Lord Frederick Cavendish, Pim Fortuyn, Alexander von Humboldt, Élie Cartan, Theodore von Kármán, Cornelius Jansen, Henry David Thoreau, Bret Harte, L. Frank Baum, Maurice Maeterlinck, Giaches de Wert, Ernest MacMillan, Kai Winding, Otis Blackwell, Monty Woolley, Charles Farrell, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Marlene Dietrich, Ann Todd, Earl Blaik, Art Houtteman, Maria Montessori, Mary Cain, William Casey, Jilly Rizzo, Lillian Asplund,

and Barney Kessel.

Gypsy? My soul!
Happy birthday, anyway.
