Old Sayings

If it's not one thing it's your mother. Money makes fools of men. Don't put off till tomorrow what can be put off indefinitely. 

Ok, the first one is a humorous spin on an old saying I heard from my friend, Maxie. I came up with the adjustment to the third adage about procrastinating, which is a good reminder that not everything needs to get done right now. History has proven over and over that some things are best left undone...period.  

Now don't think I've gone all philosophical or have decided to become a philosophical intellectual (for the record, if you think you're an intellectual you're probably not). I'm no intellectual, but do find myself from time-to-time in a state of curiosity, or, as the self-appointed intellectuals like to say, intellectually curious. 

Intellectually curious; now that's funny! I've never known one person in my life who wasn't intellectually curious. That goes double for our little friends under the age of 9 or 10. I'm guessing the intellectuals came up with "intellectually curious" as an inside attempt to elevate themselves even further above us regular folks. If so, C'MON MAN!

Thankfully, it takes all kinds to make things work. If everyone was self-aware, there wouldn't be much left to do for most entertainment industry celebrities. Not that I have anything against the entertainment industry. If not for those folks, the divorce industry would have to completely restructure.

C'MON MAN; that's enough poking fun at Hollywood and the super-smart. Let's get back to focussing on barns, creeks and the great outdoors. You just can't go no better. I'll keep you posted...
