QOD

This blog purely for my own amusement. I like to start the day with a quote, be it amusing, inspiration, or simply something that caught my fancy.

On occasion, I might also include some commentary on the day's crossword puzzle that is published in the Los Angeles Times.

QOD: I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be "happy."  I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate.  It is, above all, to matter and to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all. ~ Leo C. Rosten (né Leo Calvin Rosten; Apr. 11, 1908 ~ Feb. 19, 1997)
