: : Couldn't let DDL's birthday slip by without a mention....so here is a quote from his father, former Poet Laureate, Cecil Day-Lewis.....
: :
: : 'We'd like to fight but we fear defeat, we'd like to work but we're feeling too weak, we'd like to be sick but we'd get the sack, we'd like to behave, we'd like to believe, we'd like to love, but we've lost the knack.'
: : (Cecil Day-Lewis, former Poet Laureate)

: Thanks for that, Huggy! A great quote in honor of a great birthday!! I'll have to send DDL a belated birthday card. (See, for any of you guys whose birthdays I've forgotten, don't take it amiss...I, the Greatest DDL Admirer of All Time, didn't have a clue it was his birthday! I wouldn't remember my OWN if it weren't St. Patrick's Day! But then...we all know I'm OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLD!!! The Senior GGGG of Mohicanland, I think!)
: As Doc M Used to Say (and where IS she, I might ask?)...
: Creak...Poot...Creak...Poot...
: MMMM
i LOVE this quote, Huggy. I'm going to tape this one up on the old desk, sartain (to use a Mohicanland phrase...) what a poetic way of describing corporate apathy! I love it!
