Decision is a sharp knife that cut
clean and straight. Indecision is
a dull one that hacks and tears
and leaves ragged edges behind.

The society which scorns excellence
in plumbing as a humble activity and
tolerates shoddiness in philosophy
because it is an exalted activity
will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy ...
neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

a Golden Oldie but
'who knows?'
There's a new virus going around. It is called C-Nile. Even
the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot
take care of it so be warned. It appears to affect mostly
those of us who were born before 1960.
Symptoms of C-Nile Virus:
1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail
3. Causes you to send it to the wrong person
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to
you
5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished the
Received from Bette Tolnai.

Ah, but the choice of dreams to live,
there's the rub.
For all dreams are not equal,
some exit to nightmare
most end with the dreamer
But at least one must be lived ... and died.
