    Thanks for including me.  Hope you have a fun weekend and piss off a few A Listers, er, people with big egos, too. Cheers!

      My pleasure, that quote kicked ass and is damn true. Sure I will piss someone off before the weekends out… most likely my wife, but she’s an a-lister, so all’s well!

    I am a big fan of Edison- the man has a ton of great quotes, just really smart stuff. I think that what I like about it all is that it is practical and applicable to all of us.

      The man seems unnervingly logical and that is something I can SO get behind! I’ve never read a word of fluff that the man has written. Everything is so clean and tactical.

        Clean and tactical is an excellent way to describe it.
