Happy Birthday
Robyn Rathburn

Something you say is taken out of context.
It doesn't just involve the person
you were talking about now,
it's all over everywhere.
That's part of the responsibility
of being a star.
Look who shares your day . .

Consider this . . .

people give you what they think
you deserve
and deny you what they think
you want.

Cyril Northcote Parkinson,
British historian and author
(born this date in 1909, died 1993).
