Trouble

Troubles, like babies, grow larger by nursing. (Lady Holland in One More Day by Sefra Kobrin Pitzele, 6 May)

Anyone ... who tries to take control of what cannot be controlled, brings trouble to himself. (Touchstones, 5 May)

[Do not] ... give reality to trouble that may never come. (One Day at a Time in Al-Anon, 19 May)

• Last night Cyndi took the subway from work to the New Carrollton station which is about a mile from our house. I went to the station to pick her up. She brought food to eat for supper. Melva and Cyndi looked at the gifts Melva brought back from Panama for Cyndi. Melva and I took Cyndi back to her apartment when the evening drew to a close. We had a very nice visit. There was heavy Memorial Day weekend traffic in both directions on the beltway. Everyone except guys on motorcyles was driving sensibly.
• There was a nice suprise when I signed on this morning. My college roommate, Tom, joined Facebook.
