The difference between someone who uses “wishful thinking” and someone being an optimist is an optimist sees a glass half full, while someone using wishful thinking looks for more water for the glass where it doesn’t exist.
I’m neither right now, but this song helps.
Thanks.

Every system is perfectly designed to achieve the results it is currently getting.
Or, if you prefer old school:
All is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds.
thanks Rich, mood improvement much needed here. Sox lost and Letterman is gone from the tv. though the Foo Fighters are always a good way to end the night.

Great choice Rich. Really needed this today, not even 50 degrees here in SPI this morning, overcast and no end of session coming soon.
While true, seeing politics played poorly, selfishly, and without regard to honest compromise, I’d take more of a result coming quicker, better, and conventional.
Initiating the safety guards, that’s not governing.

It seems you’re feeling rather optimistic this morning. Not sure I share the same sentiment….
Nice song choice, either way….

===Not sure I share the same sentiment===
I’m not optimistic. I just needed a boost.

Thanks Rich, this one always improves my mood. I may need to revisit this a few more times today.

Back when the Jersey Shore was cool.
“Rosalita” is autobiographical, about Bruce’s girlfriend at tne time, Diane Lovito.
She’s also “Crazy Janey” in “Spirit in the Nignt” and “Terry” in “Backstreets.”

It was great to see Bruce here and last night, in the clips, on Letterman’s last show. Back 2 back Bruce!

Caught a glimpse of Blago on the Letterman retrospective last night. Wasnt expecting him to make the cut.
