The More Things Change ...

The more they stay the same ...

From The Bostonians, written by Henry James and published in 1886:
"His state of mind is one thing and mine is another. How can I marry every man that hangs about me -- that dogs my footsteps? I might as well become a Mormon at once!"

From a blog quoted in the "Blog Log" of the Washington Post Express, published May 19, 2008: "How do they do it? How does the Mormon Church get a couple of prime years of a boy's life to go out and be a missionary either here or abroad?"

I don't know how they do it but sometimes I sure wish they would STOP doing it!!! It is certainly inconvenient for me, and let's face it, my comfort is all that really matters. Blegh.
