Fly Old Glory today with a heightened sense of pride and love of liberty.
As opposed to your usual way of flying it — with your heightened sense of smug irony, you socialism-loving elitist. AND WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE, WHILE YOU’RE AT IT!
Remember the birthday of anyone who’s helped you move.
It’s March 10th.
Improve yourself, and you improve everyone around you.
Especially if improving yourself means going outside and getting some exercise. Or just going outside. Or just leaving the room.
When asking someone to be a reference, ask by phone or in person , not by e-mail.

Take not the third drink, nor the third donut.
Otherwise, the staff meeting will just get ugly.
Go through all your old photographs. Select ten and tape them to your kitchen cabinets. Change them every thirty days.
That way, every time you go to get something to eat, you’ll be reminded of how thin you used to be.
Don’t build a new home or remodel an old one by long distance. Like a marriage, this demands daily involvement every step of the way.
And change up the times you show up each day. That way, if your contractor’s cheating on you, and they all do, you can catch the lying whore in the act! That’s right! No good cheaters — ALL OF THEM!
After college, read only books you like. Should you find yourself reading one you don’t enjoy, skip to the last page and be done with it.
You got it.
December 31: Tonight, put a chocolate…
Okay. I’ll keep going.
No one ever went broke taking a profit, regardless of how small.
Unless they took it to Vegas.
