    My favorite quotation [​IMG] is by Eleanor Roosevelt:

    Yesterday is history.
    Tomorrow is mystery.
    Today is a gift.
    That's why they call it the present.

    Another good one is by Alex Curylo:

    Cooking is great. It's a socially acceptable excuse to play with knives and fire.

    "Oh! Great try for him....he's had his hair restyled and is obviously reaping the benefits..."
