Thoughts for the New Year

This morning, Mrs. Linklater accidentally discovered that clicking on a person's screenname in a comment took her to their profile.  So she decided to start collecting personal quotes before she went back to bed again.  Anyway, it was something to start the new day in the new year before the bowl games get under way.  She'll add more when she has time.  Feel free to help out.
