They almost made me get up and walk out of the building in the third quarter. I almost left them alone on a sinking ship. But they got it right in time and it took another 10 minutes but they finally got it right and got going. That's what a layoff will do sometimes.
Phil Jackson

William Morris

...the story of a man who saw three fellows laying bricks at a new building:
He approached the first and asked, What are you doing?
Clearly irritated, the first man responded, What the heck do you think I'm doing? I'm laying these darn bricks!
He then walked over to the second bricklayer and asked the same question.
The second fellow responded, Oh, I'm making a living.
He approached the third bricklayer with the same question, What are you doing?
The third looked up, smiled and said, I'm building a cathedral.
At the end of the day, who feels better about how he's spent his last eight hours?
Bill Vaughan
