About Me

Let's get rid of the bum before he costs us yet another Super Bowl!!

About the best way to tell you about me, is to share some of my beliefs, and some of my favorite sayings...


THE NINE NOBLE VIRTUES


COURAGE

By facing Life's struggles with courage, we constantly extend our capabilities. Without courage, nothing else can be done!

TRUTH

Blind faith has no place. No pie-in-the-sky; we must act in this world as we see it and as it really is rather than calmly wait for the next.

HONOR

We must be true to what we are, and we insist on acting with nobility rather than baseness. Our standards must be banners held high in our hearts.

FIDELITY

We stand true to our faith and our values. Loyalty is the basis for all enduring human activity, and we hold it in the highest esteem.

HOSPITALITY

The isolation and loneliness of modern life is not necessary. The willingness to share what one has with ones' fellows, especially travelers, is a vital part of our way of life.

DISCIPLINE

We hold to the discipline necessary to fulfill our purpose. We stand willing to exercise the self-control and steadfastness necessary in these difficult times.

INDUSTRIOUSNESS

Let us dare to be all that we can be! Let us take risks and taste the richness of life. Passivity is for sheep. We refuse to be mere spectators in life.

SELF-RELIANCE

We depend on our own strength and character to achieve our goals. We seek only the freedom necessary to our quest, whatever it may be.

PERSEVERANCE

We hold to our path until its completion and are not ashamed to be strong. The cult of the anti-hero will find no support in us, and the gods we follow are not for the weak.

"Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill." - Greek Proverb

"We the unwilling, led by the unknowing, have done so much with so little, we are now qualified to anything with nothing." -unknown

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein

    The First Law of Theatre: Everything will take longer than it really should. The Second Law of Theatre: If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done. The Third Law of Theatre: Glory may be fleeting but obscurity lasts forever.
