Don't feel too bad, some people never even have a muse to lose. ;-)
The business of life is to go forwards; he who sees evil in
prospect meets it in his way; but he who catches it by
retrospection turns back to find it. That which is feared
may sometimes be avoided, but that which is regretted today
may be regretted again tomorrow.
--Samuel Johnson, Idler #72 (September 1, 1759)
Dang Sam, you crack me up!! Your humour is so dry! That's why I love it. LOL
