   Sadly, so true. I could get myself to take long walks by claiming (to my interior efficiency monitor) that I was exercising the dog. Once the dog no longer needed long walks, it was harder to justify taking them 😦 (I still do take them, but not without fail…)

     Another good one from “Big Burt”, as that wag Rick Bowes likes to call him, this time from the Conquest of Happiness: “A generation that can not endure boredom will be a generation of little men, of men unduly divorced from the slow processes of nature, of men in whom every vital impulse slowly withers, as though they were cut flowers in a vase.”

   Yeah, “Big Burt” as we used to call him always knew how to have fun!

     Well, he certainly knew how to provide me with a quote to use as a blog post.

   I had to do one of those personality assessment things this past week for a job I was attempting to get. Besides being more useless than most (rate yourself on the following scale, 1=careless to 5=careful — really, is ANYONE going to say they aren’t careful?), it had some very odd pairings.

   Light-hearted 1 – 5 Responsible

   All I want to know is why I can’t be both?
