My latest fortune cookie fortune says:

'Treasure your good memories and you need not worry about ending a banquet.'

I feel like I should find great reverence in this statement. It sounds very philosophical, maybe Buddhist, and definately very deep. But between you and me, I have no idea what it means. I did a quick web search for more information on the quotation and indeed I had found that many other people have posted about receiving this quote in their fortune cookies. But, I haven't found the origin of the phrase. None of the folks posting their wonderfully meaningful quote go on about what the hell it means. I bet they secretly have no idea either.

Is it a 2 part fortune? Something like.. 'Treasure your good memories. Oh, yeah, and um... you don't need to worry about ending a banquet' or is this all one continuous thought?

Ending a banquet? What the hell does that mean? Does that mean I won't stop a banquet from happening? That I won't end up being the main course at a banquet? If I don't treasure my good memories I will end a banquet?

Do I really need this level of aggrivation from my sweet and sour chicken? I mean, really. Next time we're getting Dominos.

The John P. Humes Japanese Stroll Garden
Mill Neck, New York

Tucked away behind an unimposing wall sits the Humes Japanese Stroll Garden. One of Long Island's quiet treasures. Surely worth the $7 to keep the dream alive~

Just came home today from a few days on the road in the car with my daughter. We stopped off at Clark's Trading Post in North Woodstock, NH.

Inside the grounds, they've built a replica of a garage that was apparently on Main street called Avery's. Inside there were a few old Indians on display as well as a 1927 Ace and a 1926 Henderson in the Firehouse.

How do these old bikes get lost in the shuffle and turn up so many years later?
