Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, totally worn out and screaming,
"WOO HOO, what a ride!"

  2. Twizzlers rule! The big trek north is not complete without a huge bag of twizzlers. We rationalize this by saying the chewing action keeps us awake and alert for the 2 1/2 days in the car. Yeah, right,like the bag lasts that long.

  6. I think you've made me crave Twizzlers. I haven't had them in ages. I wish I had a hammock, but I think I'd do more napping than reading.
