Lesson Learned. If you someday want to be included in the Pantheon,

you need to get your name on a Plan that gets printed and reprinted,

so you will be remembered.

Publish or Perish.

Grant me the

COURAGE to change what should be changed; the

SERENITY to accept what cannot be changed;

and the

WISDOM to know the difference.
