We all Need the Eggs...

My parents have been here for the last couple of weeks. It's nice to see them after about a year. Not because there is so much to talk about but even in silence, there is a sense of belonging. The house feels like a home...

There's an interesting Woody Allen quote from Annie Hall, that's been bouncing around my head for a while now... It's about relationships, and applies to a whole bunch of them. Anything I say is not going to be as good. So I'm just going to leave that here.

I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.
