Dinner at Mike's in Davis square was nice after a long aggravating day at work. I'm not particularly looking forward to tomorrow.... but better to get it over with like removing a band-aid. Documentation, preparation, and going through the motions... I need some time off.
Dear Jebus....
And now for something completely different......
Residents wonder if dead animal is legendary mystery beast
Oooohhh SCARY!! It's only a matter of time till we all succumb to the ravages of the elusive rat dog.
A couple of quotes regarding a loathsome subject: Work
John W. Gardner:
"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
"The heights by great men reached and kept / Were not attained by sudden flight, / But they, while their companions slept, / Were toiling upward in the night. "
Lane Kirkland:
"If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves."
Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it."
Theodore Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
