The bongo drums of his thought carrom across the cosmos, revenanting across the dawn with nodules of coltan from beyond. A clear channel for reading the universe: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." "Thank you for making this day necessary." "It's déjà vu all over again." "You can observe a lot by watching." “Ninety percent of the game is half mental.” “Pair up in threes.” The smell of a quantum of disconnect, the taste of the magenta of non-sequitur, the  sight of logic colliding with chaos, the touch of an insightful short-circuit, the music of senseless syntax that says it all. Coinciluckily, the saving grace: "I really didn't say everything I said." "Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't go to yours." Who else would say, “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.” Que sera, sera - "It ain't over till it's over."

In remembrance of Yogi Berra, American League catcher for 19 seasons, 3 times MVP, 10 World Series, Hall of Fame and arguably the best baseball catcher ever. But perhaps best known for his demands on the English language.
