• The tongue is the deadliest of all blunt instruments. (Anonymous in Meditations for Parents Who Do Too Much, by Jonathon and Wendy Lazear, 21 May)
• I have the right to choose my own standards of conduct, but I do not have the right or power to impose those standards on others. (Courage to Change, 1 June)
• You should strive for a union between your purposes in life and the purposes of the Divine Principle directing the universe. There is no bond of union on earth to compare with the union between a human soul and Godo. (Alan L. Roeck, Look to This Day, 1 August)
  
  Yesterday I went to the Seniors Computer Club meeting at the Bowie, Maryland Senior Center. One of the members ran the computer to give us a talk about subscribing to Smart Computing magazine. It was the second time in a year that this magazine was the featured speaker. The first time a young lady came to give the talk. This time we used a presentation on CD. Both were effective. The magazine comes out twelve times a year and cost $29.00. As part of the subscription they offer an extensive website and and 800 number help line. After watching the second presentation I think I am going to subscribe for a year. The two computers for public access to the Internet have been installed in the hallway at the front of the center. I didn't hear anyone mention how that's working out. Each session is limited to thirty minutes.
  
  Today is the start of the Olympics from China. This time they are going to broadcast on six television channels. We get five of the channels. The article in the paper said there will be 3,600 hours of coverage. By the time the events are over we will have Olympic hangover.
  
  Melva went to her quilting class at the Senior Center today. The instructor actually has two sessions each Friday. Melva is in the session before noon. Sometimes the students are there for part of both sessions.
  
  I tired to upload one photo to Facebook yesterday. I didn't have any luck with that. Maybe I'll have to ask for some help.
