You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city -BTO
The press conference to announce my pick for President has been called off....
Tigers take care of business against the Citadel. Should continue to do so until the next real road test... Panthers take care of business too...

Hmmmmmm... you don't say... :-(
Can't help but share some great quotes in the hope that they inspire the PROMISED post ;-)
"Conscience is the root of all true courage; if a man would be brave let him obey his conscience"
James Freeman Clarke
"Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character"
Margaret Chase Smith
"Abraham Lincoln did not go to Gettysburg having commissioned a poll to find out what would sell in Gettysburg. There were no people with percentages for him, cautioning him about this group or that group or what they found in exit polls a year earlier. When will we have the courage of Lincoln?"
Robert Coles
"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences"
Susan B. Anthony
"To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform"
Theodore White
And a personal favorite that may not be as applicable to the post for which I'm holding my breath, but is one I love so much I just can't resist sharing:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat"
Theodore Roosevelt
Again, Jerome, not waiting in an eagerness to debate as much as to hear your personal opinions so I can chew upon them. Still haven't lost the love of analyzing all sides that I developed as a pilosophy major, so again looking foreward to the PROMISED (even if delinquent ;-) post.
