A slow week. Not much going on. But didn't I hear that someone famous got indicted?

Tee-hee.

This week's poem Discipline hearkens back to a time of hard work and sacrifice, and suggests, that we might want to cultivate a quality that served previous generations well. Channeling my inner doomsday preacher again, I suppose.

That's all for this week. See you next time around!
