My co-workers think I have a disorder regardless of whether I cry or not...

On another thread, when thought it was going to be Gephart, it was dull and duller...

Sir Walter Scott died still owing a great deal of money from a failed business enterprise.

I sorta think I know how that goes.

Ulysses. S. Grant, William Henry Harrison, James Monroe and Thomas Jefferson all died broke. Before his death, Jefferson was able to alleviate part of his financial problems by accepting $25,000 for his books from Congress. Those books were used to begin the Library of Congress. Friends even tried to organize a lottery to sell part of his land to help, but it was not enough.

That's good. I like to be thought of that way. It makes them underestimate me.

Most of the people we honor as famous couldn't afford bus fair to get to the ceremony.

Fame may be sought after, but it isn't always rewarding.
Plan B is to do it because it's the right thing to do, or simply because you love it.

That may be your only reward.

There is something about having a big heart that has a reward that surpasses anything in this realm of reality...

There's few things worse than having a workaholic for a boss. They can't understand that not everyone is married to their jobs.

Eccentric is what I prefer. But look up "esoteric" in the dictionary and you'll see my picture.
