1.  What is it with old people parking old cars at Sonic?  Or is that mainly a Texas thing?

2.  I just love the Problem of Evil.

3.  Income over $75,000 per year leads to no additional happiness?  Instead of complaining next time – remember that. But the COLA?

4.  Our yearning for significance is exhausting.  We have got to stop.

5.  It is amazing, and heartbreaking, how many peers and friends I have already outlived.

6.  You know how soldiers and athletes bond moving through difficulty as a team?  I think being a parent can be like that too.

7.  Why is work swag so sought after on the job, and then essentially turns to junk the day you get a new job?

8.  You do not have OCD.  You are somewhat particular (persnickety) about a few things.  Actual OCD is an extremely debilitating illness.

9.  A local financial adviser on the radio says:  “I can get you growth – with no market risk.”  I wonder if he knows how ridiculous he sounds.

10.  Author and speaker Ravi Zacharias notes in his book, The End of Reason:

Albert Camus begins his essay “The Myth of Sisyphus” with these words: “There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.”

I wish I had thought to put it that clearly.

1.  When did articles become lists?  The list articles are sure easier to write though – I’ll say that.

2.  It would be awesome if the real interest rate could get above – oh, I don’t know – zero.

3.  It’s official.  I am of that generation.  I would give up TV before I would give up the internet.

4.  Maybe I am not of that generation.  I would give up the internet before I would give up books.  Maybe with e-books I can just keep both.

5.  How did I live before Evernote?

6.  I now hit the gym with health in mind – not looks. When did that suddenly happen?

7.  It is unreasonable how much time I spend watching my dogs – just waiting for them to go to the bathroom.

8.  I wish I could remember half of what I learned in grad school.

9.  What did people do before Aspirin and Advil?  Just die?

10.  I trust journalists as far as Ryan Holiday can throw them.
