I'm in big, big trouble. I fervently denounce negative and depressing attitudes, emotional cripples, stingy and dried up hearts --and figs! My hair stands out in the face of animal mistreatment, child and senior abuse, conceited people, tasteless humor and cod fish. I vow my eternal devotion to sunny dispositions, positive attitudes, lovers of life and love, open and hungry minds that always keep the flame fed, open hearts brave enough to reach out, creme brulee and smoked salmon (not necessarily together).
