(4/22) National Jelly Bean Day ... women and food ... Orson Welles

If there hadn't been women,

 we'd still be squatting

 in a cave eating raw meat,

 because 

we made civilization 

in order to impress 

our girlfriends.

(3/29) Smoke and Mirror Day ... Edith Wharton

There are two ways

to be the candle

or

be the mirror 

that reflects it.
