You Don't Have A Right To Happiness
You don’t have the right to happiness, only the right to pursue it. Since you don’t have a right to it, no one else needs to make sure you’re happy.

Yorkshire Pudding Day
It’s #YorkshirePuddingDay. I haven’t had it, but it sounds good. I’m thinking about the recipe from the New York Times. In the meantime, there’s this:

National Gumbo Day
I thought this was fitting for National Gumbo Day, especially when I find out it was also National Vermont Day.

Remembering Tom Petty
I haven’t crunched any numbers, but it seems like 2017 is going to lose more celebrities than 2016. And we’ve lost another big name in Tom Petty.
While I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tom Petty, I’ve always appreciated his music. He’s a cultural music icon and deserved to be. I remember being introduced to Tom Petty during the MTV years when Music Television was defined by actual music… on television. Music twenty-four hours a day. And for a while, You Got Lucky played every hour on the hour (or so it seemed).
I’ve always loved that song.

'Panicked' London train commuters force open doors, flee onto tracks when man reads the Bible aloud
When I first read this I thought this is from The Onion. This has to be a joke. Satire?
Witnesses described the scene as “panicked” and a “commotion.”
Sadly, it’s neither. It appears to be serious, and of all the news I’ve read in a while, this may be the saddest thing I’ve read in a while. A man on the subway was reading from the Bible, and people were panicked and literally jumping from a train.
I understand if you don’t believe in God why you may be upset, but panicked!? What exactly is it about the Word of God that would set a “non-believer” into a panic mode? It’s just a book right? Nonsense? Do people panic over Santa Clause stories? I know that the Bible says to fear the Lord, but I don’t think this is what the writer had in mind.
So, what exactly would cause people to actually panic over the Word of God? If you ask me, I think deep down they know there’s power in the Word of God, and they don’t want to be confronted with it.

Determined Marathoner Rolls Across Finish Line After Collapsing
Last month at a marathon in Washington, Devon Bieling rolled her way across the finish line after collapsing and still earned a BQ.
Now that’s determination. After running a couple marathons myself and currently training for another, I can sympathize.
