How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

The "Show Cause" Clause

Thinking today about a number of things, amidst memoranda of understanding and closings and upcoming meetings of import. Such as:

-how wonderfully blue the ocean looks from the large windows in our reception;
-how general competence is always king, all the more-so on technical and mundane matters;
-how Internet memes prove the wonderful specialness of a species;
-how eagerness to please results in a simple cutting of a cheque three weeks later; and
-how diverse the world's opportunities can be.

Keeping the head down and working away in the short term. Dreaming the all-too necessary dreams for the future. For It Is Later Than You Think. No need to show cause on that one.

So Play Her Off, Keyboard Cat.
