bjaspan (Barr3y Jaspan):
I am NO LONGER going to be in New York almost full time. Whew!
-----
The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet
with sound and splendor, then faded to dreamstuff and passed away; the
Greek and the Roman followed and made a vast noise, and they are gone;
other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but
it burned out, and they sit in twilight now or have vanished. The Jew
saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting
no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no
slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and agressive mind.
All things are mortal but the Jew: all other forces pass, but he
remains. What is the secret of his immortality?
-- Mark Twain, _Harper's Magazine_, September 1899

If you want a certain thing
you must first be a certain person.
Once you are that certain person,
obtaining that certain thing
will no longer be a concern of yours.

The Glow of Good Health
In a teaching manual prepared for use in public schools, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency compared the radiation released by a nuclear
blast to sunlight: "Long exposure in one day can be harmful, while the
same total exposure distributed over a few weeks produces a nice tan."
