Some things one can never be too certain of. I recently got another free
calendar, my fifth one, for 2012. Needless to say, I know what day it is. At
any rate, this calendar is of Norman Rockwell prints with quotations from
famous people (except two I never heard of). I thought it would be fun to
match the quotations to their authors. The authors are scrambled next the
quotes; the actual names are at the very end, but out of order. I personally
would not have recognized the authors of the quotes had I not seen them. I
wonder if anyone can do better than I did. In the meantime, for anyone
wondering, today is, Sunday, February 5, 2012, yes that's correct, it's the
same on that one, and that one, and that one, and that one, and that one…
