"Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward." - Kurt Vonnegut

Love Vonnegut, based on his last few books I get the feeling he was going a lot of laughing towards the end.

Thanks for giving me a good reason to smile, remembering my favorite author...now, as much as I dont want to wish my life away....the retirement in Belgium is sounding soooo good.

Which then gave me the broader Horizon to also have a passion for Shakespeare. Shakespeare, Blake, Vonnegut....I couldnt pick a favorite book, play, poem or sonnet amongst them, each fills a niche in my intellectual, and imaginative curiosity.
