Thinking infinitely

Looking infinitely: Albert Einstein had a good quote about infinity.
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
Here's another quote about an infinite universe, this one by Woody Allen:
"Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for those people who can't remember where they leave things."
Happy holidays: Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! (I almost wrote Happy Halloween.)

Editing attribution

Found online: “He was never as good as everybody said he was,” the former quarterback Trent Dilfer, now an ESPN analyst, said Monday.

 I don't like splitting up attribution. This would read better as “He was never as good as everybody said he was,” said Trent Dilfer, a former quarterback and now an ESPN analyst. I took Monday out; it's not necessary.
