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 Eve of Cedar Lake

Prep for the hearing and finding myself ill at ease.  The discovery of liability for efficiency costs that may accrue, combined with the uncertainty over hearing timing, cross, and critical issues leaves a gap that slightly troubles the mind.  Answers to come will be difficult to challenge, and arguments to be made difficult to muster in the face of the shell game responses.

BUT... a bit of sleep, new clothes, a supportive wife, and sighing newborn babe do much to lift the spirits.  There is a joy in waking while the world sleeps around you, avoiding the traffic and scheming under cover of darkness.  Need constant reminder that this is a game, and ultimately it is just about a "bar tab", as Mr. Long well notes.  Fight the good fight and then head to London for the stuff that really matters.

Update later.  Focus on what you can do.  And do it well.  Head up.
