It was “do” night tonight.
First I found out that there is at least one Lyle Lovett impersonator out there. He had the “do”, about the right age, a face that was wrinkled and ugly but he didn’t have the asymmetry that Lyle has. I successfully didn’t ask him about it but it was obviously coiffured and not a random accident.
Later, I had a patient whose boyfriend had green jello-hair. So I thought to myself, as opposed to discussing this out loud, why not combine them. An unruly mop of kinda long hair on the front and a buzz-cut from the middle back and on the sides, rainbow colors?
Well, while looking for something from Lyle on the “do”, I found a couple of quotes of his that I kind of like. And then a few other quotes. And then…
Lyle Lovett
Sometimes when your parents come up the hard way, they expect you to come up the hard way, too. But my parents gave me every opportunity. Much to my chagrin, I was the only boy in tap and ballet class when I was four years old.
Here’s a question for you: Is it possible to be religious without being judgmental about other people’s religions?
I’ve never been ready to do a single thing I’ve ever done in my life. I haven’t been prepared enough, haven’t studied enough, haven’t known enough. You can never be ready. There’s just so much to know.
Thomas Paine
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Paul Arden
If you can’t solve a problem, it’s because you’re playing by the rules.
Will Rogers
Never miss a good chance to shut up.
Tom Stoppard
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Bill Cosby
The key to failure is trying to please everybody.
Jane Wagner
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I see I should have been more specific.
Nathan Badley ?
I have no time for patience.
Mark Twain
The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.
