God has a sense of humor though and he must see funny things in us. He must also have some love. We're still here and there are still great things that go on.

One of the great mistakes that can be made by a man of my age is to get involved in athletic competition with children-unless, of course, they are under six. And even then, stay away from hide-and-seek.

There should be more on television that uplifts people and shows them how to better prepare themselves for earning a living. There still aren't enough people that say this should not be. We just let it go. We need to raise a loud voice about our fellow human beings.
