Christ appeared alive on several occasions after the cataclysmic events of that first Easter.
Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings all the snow in Alaska won't make it 'white'.
In Hollywood the women are all peaches. It makes one long for an apple occasionally.
We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
I currently use Ubuntu Linux on a standalone laptop - it has no Internet connection. I occasionally carry flash memory drives between this machine and the Macs that I use for network surfing and graphics but I trust my family jewels only to Linux.
Occasionally I find a travel book that is both illuminating and entertaining where vivid writing and research replace self-indulgence and sloppy prose.
I really enjoy what I do and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that I'm not really a person of habit because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people and occasionally do very weird things.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
Standing beneath the white light of an Apple store is like standing on a Stanley Kubrick movie set. His '2001: A Space Odyssey' predicted Jobs and a future where technology was our friend. Kubrick of course didn't like what he saw. And occasionally I have my doubts.
Forward as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter and think that even such a result is no trifle.
I also developed an interest in sports and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football baseball basketball and occasionally ice hockey.
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
A commercial society whose members are essentially ascetic and indifferent in social ritual has to be provided with blueprints and specifications for evoking the right tone for every occasion.
People challenge my nerd cred all the time. I just show them the photo of me winning my middle-school science fair wearing my Casio calculator watch and eyeglasses so big they look like they can see the future.
As far as the leading man/romantic lead I'll tell you what I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on 'Catch and Release.' God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.
There's immense fun to be had as long as you can sort of sneak it past DC. I have been told on occasion that I need to have more respect for these characters.
There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.
Those among them that have not received our religion do not fright any from it and use none ill that goes over to it so that all the while I was there one man was only punished on this occasion.
I think you can be cynical about religion on occasion and certainly skeptical about the degree to which some people use religion to manipulate other people.
On several occasions I discussed with Bill Clinton the subject of inquiries by the media about our relationship. He told me to continue to deny our relationship that if we would stick together everything would be okay.
Then of course there are those sad occasions when a poet or a writer has not grown and one has to let them go because they're just not making headway. But we have a very clear personal relationship with the authors.
Although we were never pals and occasionally butted heads my relationship with Clinton and his wife Hillary made me a better journalist.
The sublimity of administration consists in knowing the proper degree of power that should be exerted on different occasions.
Whatever your supposed politics are - left right - if you put it in a human connection most people will rise to the occasion and feel the human pain in a way that they might not if it was presented in a more conceptual way.
Scientists will eventually stop flailing around with solar power and focus their efforts on harnessing the only truly unlimited source of energy on the planet: stupidity. I predict that in the future scientists will learn how to convert stupidity into clean fuel.
