"If you follow every road, you might get lost."
Sorry for the earworm, but it just is insufferable...

1. No earworm here
I don't recognize the quote. Whose is it?

2. It's from Neil Young's "The Painter" on Praire Wind.
I love that album and they play the song on the local station every once and awhile.

You have a great signature Droopy, very true.

5. Thank you
I came up with the sig after reading a DUer's book about his life and thinking of my own stories that I sometimes post in the lounge. I'm of the opinion that everyone's life experience is a treasure and that we should all make an attempt to document our lives even if the result is just that you have a memoir for your relatives to read. It will enrich at least one person's life and I think that alone is well worth it.

7. So true, but it is not something most of us get around to do.
But, I think everyone's life has some great stories in it, if you look for them.

3. I like being lost, personally... but I imagine my feet would be pretty
darned tired.

4. Tired feet and a stranger in a strange land ain't fun.

6. Well, there are disadvantages, but I've can't remember anything I've
ever really learned or accomplished by trying to stay in familiar territory.

8. Good point. But, you have to have some sort of balance in your
life. I've never been much of a traveling type and have to be careful where I go, but making some tentative travels here and there has helped.
