11/07/2005: "Standup Philosopher"

As I crawled along during today's 100 minute morning commute, I thought, while I'm not ready to abandon my motto -- "Be careful what you wish for." -- if I had to have a backup motto, it might be something like, "Maybe it'll be better today." The "it" makes it general enough to apply to anything, plus it's got that veneer of optimism barely containing the sarcastic cynicism implied by anyone saying it; anyone other than the most deranged of pollyannas, that is.
