“Appetite, an universal wolf.” – Troilus & Cressida
Just got back from a short trip to Cincinnati. I way overate. Darn hunger when you travel, and there’s no healthy food options available!

“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” – Hamlet
Or, as The New York Times noted this morning – NOT. For yet another year Denmark has come in at No. 1 on the World Happiness Report. In large part, apparently, because of a relative lack of inequality (at least as compared to much of the rest of the West). Go Denmark!
Oh, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️

“A woman is a dish for the gods.” – Antony and Cleopatra
I guess March is Women’s History Month. To be honest, I wasn’t even aware that March was supposed to be a celebration of women’s history; it certainly doesn’t get much play. Anyhow, in honor of this, I tried to find an applicable quote from Shakespeare, but it was hard! Shakespeare has a ton of quotes about women, of course, but most of them are actually rather degrading. Even the one chosen above is sort of degrading. I’d rather women be less a dish for the gods, then an admired member of human kind. It’s 2016 already – let’s focus on women’s minds and not their looks please!
