Confront boldness...

Went out to check the mail in hopes that some of our new school materials have arrived. (Not that we don’t have enough to do.........but there is a thrill in the new.)

Instead, I get a slew of bills and the new Vanity Fair (which shall remain in its plastic wrap until tonight, when I take it to work to be opened in the unlikely event of there being nothing to do but stare at the phone and wait for it to ring.) Each month VF puts some little profound aphorism on its cover- in <9 pt type, but it is there. This month they quote Napoleon, “Confront boldness by being still more bold.” Nice. Then they put Madonna on the cover. Yawn. Haven’t we reached our toxic limit yet? Maybe they should have paraphrased it “Confront oldness by being still more old?”
