Along those same lines... I like these wise words from Jimmy:

"His world had gone from sailing ships to raking Mom's backyard."

I know the feeling!

Or even worse, "From sailing ships to shoveling the friggin' driveway."

I used to post Buffett lyrics on my door at work all the time.

I used a lot of different ones. But whenever I went on vacation or was gone for a day the door always read

If the phone doesn't ring, it's me

I'll go with this one:

And still 24 hours, maybe 60 good years
It's still not that long a stay
We've got roll with the punches
Play all of our hunches
Makin the best of whatever comes your way.

Some make the world go round, others watch it turn.
Still it's all a mystery
This place we call the world.
Most are fine as oysters
While some become pearls.

It's a magic kind of medicine

SMLCHNG wrote:Some people never find it, some only pretend
But me, I just want to live happily ever after
Every now and then.

That's always been my favorite, among a hundred other great lines (see my sig).

We could easily fill a book with his quotes. Maybe he needs to come out with a quote a day calendar. i know I'd buy it.

There's wind in our hair
And there's water in our shoes
It's been a lovely cruise

YOU CAN MESS WITH THE MOUSE IN ORLANDO
JILT A TOURIST IN ST. AUGUSTINE
YOU CAN RAG ON THE MIAMI DOLPHINS
BUT YOU CAN'T STEAL THE ORANGE BOWL QUEEN

Just got Tourist Season by Carl Hiaasen for Christmas....looking forward into seeing what Jimmy sees in this book

I used to go crazy for days at a time, now I'm taking my time with my days.

AND

I'VE BEEN TOO LONG ON THE MAINLAND.

Pretty much all of the CILCIA lyrics, especially

If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.

- With a little Love and Luck We will get by

- But every now and then, the dragons come to call
Just when you least expect it you'll be dodgin' cannonballs

- That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it

Gonna go back down and get high by the sea air . . .

I will come down and talk to me . . . when the coast is clear . . .

My personal favorite line:

"I'd rather die while living then live while I'm dead"

I know at least one BNer has this in their signature line....
