Bon mot for the week

"The harsh, useful things of the world, from pulling teeth to digging potatoes, are best done by men who are as starkly sober as so many convicts in the death-house; but the lovely and useless things, the charming and exhilarating things, are best done by men with, as the phrase is, a few sheets in the wind."


H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)


And people ask me why I blog....

mmmmm a heart warming quote that reminds me of lovely times.

But do we think he meant for his comment to apply to women too?
