An interesting word, a funny-because-it's-true quote, and a link

omphaloskepsis (om-fuh-lo-SKEP-sis) noun

Contemplation of one's navel.

[From Greek omphalos (navel) + skepsis (act of looking, examination).
Ultimately from the Indo-European root spek- (to observe) which is also the ancestor of suspect, spectrum, bishop (literally, overseer), despise, espionage, telescope, spectator, and spectacles.]



Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address.
- Lane Olinghouse



This is one of my favorite songs - it's on my list of Songs That Always Make Me Happy.

Bob Seger - Fire Lake

(Not that I don't like most of Bob's songs, but this one is the essence of summer for me - of wandering up to the lake, hanging out, riding around, drinking beer.... Mmmmm.)
