Well, sorry folks, but I’m too tired today to import any of my dubious wisdom to you. Spent all day debating whether politics and morality have any common ground with my parents, and well, I’m bushed. :)

Lesson Number 1:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?”
