Old nonsense

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day;
you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered with your old nonsense.


- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Strange...This very quotation is on a magnet stuck to my sister-in-law's 'fridge here in Miami.

Is that the fridge she's using to freeze the iguana? (cause that's the only way I can imagine it happening in Miami...)
