    1. Me, too, and every time I think of that phrase, I also think of that song "Froggie Went A-Courtin, Side by Side!"

  3. Wow! He was certainly not the "mindful" type, was he? I'm pretty sure that my dad adhered to his philosophy for most of his life. As for me, I'm fairly certain that courting insanity is what has led to most of the truly amazing discoveries in my life, even if I didn't know that's what I was doing at the time.

  8. I have many objects in life and yet I court insanity. I am the first to admit that my morbidity. Bernard Macfadden and Van Gogh would not have been a good match.
