I’m not sure how I came into possession of Benjamin Franklin on a baseball card, but I’ll take it. As Americans, we’re all descended from him, intellectually. Read Poor Richard’s Almanac today, and find some inspiration. It isn’t hard to do. My favorite is “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” Please feel free to tell me your favorites, too.

Mine is “education is the investment that pays the best interest.” I like your blog, too!
I like that one a lot. And thanks for your kind words. As Abraham Lincoln once said, everybody likes a compliment.
