It's a funny puzzle. My wife makes very strange faces when she looks at my spreadsheets

This is funny to me because I am color blind and would not be able to tell the difference between the two lines

This is great.
There's real thought and reading, difficult questions, all evident, but expressed in emotional language.

Attend to what love requires of you, which may not be great busyness.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Don Giovanni was my first and only live opera experience. I loved it and still think about it a half dozen times a year, now 30 years later.

I know what you’re thinking. β€˜Have I read six articles or only five?’ To tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I lost track myself.
β€œBut being as this is the New York Times, the most powerful newspaper in the world, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”

Two Slit Experiment

A smooth tool in an emergency
But organics bear the record
Of breaks in the continuity

The prophet’s ulcer as evidence
In the case against him

The stubborn quantum two-state
Can friends really disentangle from it

Good humor is one of the things invisible
God has created

Cheerfully dispelling gloom
While dropping noodles
Into the water, which has boiled

raindrops on raindrops
and roses on roses
warm woolen mittens
and warm woolen noses
brown paper packages
brown paper string
these are a few of my
few of my things

Someone's got it in for me
They're planting stories in the press
Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out quick
But when they will I can only guess
They say I shot a man named Gray
And took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
