  6. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    If you suffer distress because of some external cause, it is not the thing itself that troubles you but your judgment on it, and it is within your power to cancel that judgment at any moment.
     
    [Εἰ μὲν διά τι τῶν ἐκτὸς λυπῇ, οὐκ ἐκεῖνό σοι ἐνοχλεῖ, ἀλλὰ τὸ σὸν περὶ αὐτοῦ κρῖμα, τοῦτο δὲ ἤδη ἐξαλεῖψαι ἐπὶ σοί ἐστιν.]

    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 8, ch. 47 (8.47) (AD 161-180) [tr. Hard (1997 ed.)]

  20. Game 56: Aggravation (1989), by Kevin T. Kohler.

    When you feel the inexorable need to play the classic board game of Aggravation this program will help you out.

    Play against multiple humans or one CPU opponent and prove your dominance.

    Kick the other players' pieces off the board and use the shortcut to your advantage, only then will you come out as the ultimate Aggravation champion.

    So, yeah, the game that you played at your (grand)parents' and pretended to enjoy.

  21. Tried to make an eye doctor appt yesterday. Turned out that I wasn't in the insurance co.'s system, so the dr couldn't make the appt. An hour of chatting & phone calls to straighten it out and guess what?

    It's going to take another 3 business days.

    It's been the same insurance for over a year.
