    Ah, if 'twere only so!  But thanks for the suspicion!

    And I've gotta say: you and Tom Wiggins are both right: we all need to
get off our asses and HUSTLE!  We sit around, waiting for the phone to ring,
complaining about the drought!  There is a great deal of work out there that
we aren't getting.  Lazy.  That's me!  I own up to it!

    I hate the hustle!

    (Echo sez: no shit?  Like who don't?)

    So, you wanna play?  Somebody has to do this crap, and if not you, then
who?  If not now, then when?  (I'm quoting Rabbi Hillel, in case you aren't
scholarly.)  A Roman Catholic quoting a Jew?  You betcha!  Hillel was
intelligent.  Very.  Think about it!  Same tradition and proud of it.
