I love madeleines too, and Proust turned me on to them. But I’d still choose tangerine trees and marmalade skies over them any day. Not even to speak of marshmallow pies.

Sleep late. Don’t watch the news. Do something that makes you happy. It’s only your brain, with it’s limited concepts of time and its illusion of ego that makes it seem like it matters. It doesn’t. No matter what, it will all pass away in less than the blink of a universal eye, as if it was never there at all. Have fun.
I have a PB pig and they are clean but he loves to roll in mud to keep the flies off him and to cool down in the summer. So they can be dirty by choice.
Being among the Retired set, I heartily concur with Pig (whose weak mind I more often denounce) and Rat (whose wily ways I often condemn). It’s a two-fer! Congrats, Cartoon-Boy!
Now, pull up the blankie and hand me my teddy bear!
in programming, an asterisk is commonly used as a sort of “whatever you want it to be” symbol, I’ve heard it called a wildcard. ASCII language, the original way that computers run, the most basic computer software, in it, 42 is the designation for asterisk. The GIANT COMPUTER was asked what the true meaning was. the answer is whatever you want it to be

Eat a whole live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day.
