What Are You Building?



"The boy gathers materials for a temple, and then when he is thirty, concludes to build a woodshed."


Henry David Thoreau
19th century American naturalist/poet/philosopher

Sooner or later compromise is a part of all our lives.

Better later than sooner.

  2. Not always. My achievements include some of what I dreamed when younger and much I never could until I was older. I miss some things about my youth and enjoy a few (not all) that only come with age. On balance it is what it is and I mean that in a good way.
