Don't forget the score to Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feeling So Sad.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
- Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)

Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.
