You all right, Giff?

The Houston in danger jokes never get old.

I heard Angelou speak once and it was one of the best lectures I've ever attended. Great, great woman.

US Post office has created a lovely stamp to honour Ms. Angelou



Beautiful words, so inspiring, so hopeful.

So not written by Maya Angelou:

THIS week the United States Postal Service celebrated the life and work of Maya Angelou, unveiling a stamp with her portrait and a lyrical quotation. Unfortunately, the words on the stamp do not appear to have originally been uttered by the poet. Instead, they come from the children’s book author Joan Walsh Anglund.

Ms. Anglund, 89, graciously called the misattribution of her epigram to Ms. Angelou “interesting.” The line, “A bird doesn’t sing because he has an answer, it sings because he has a song” appeared in her 1967 book of poems, “A Cup of Sun.” (The version on the stamp uses “it” instead of “he.”)
