OK, more quotes that I find interesting. Still too busy to think for myself and write a post about something or anything of real import. Although, I can blame part of it on the fact that I got a new laptop to replace my home & work computer so I’ve spent the last 4 days trying to reload all my programs, files, etc. It’s crazy how long that stuff takes. Really, it’s difficult enough trying to reload items from a single computer, imagine doing twice as much.
