Aw for gawd sakes stop quoting dictionary definitions, Clayart. One
more cut and paste from Websters online and I think I'm going to
scream. I swear, if so much as one of you reaches for an Indo-European
root, I'm gonna gat him tween the peepers. Anyway, you're using the
WRONG dictionaries.
I think Tony Clennell, RCA will appreciate this definition of A.B's.
Perseverance, n. A lowly virtue whereby mediocrity achieves an
inglorious success.
"Persevere, persevere!" cry the homilists all,
Themselves, day and night, persevering to bawl.
"Remember the fable of tortoise and hare--
The one at the goal while the other is--where?"
Why, back there in Dreamland, renewing his lease
Of life, all his muscles preserving the peace,
The goal and the rival forgotten alike,
And the long fatigue of the needless hike.
His spirit a-squat in the grass and the dew
Of the dogless Land beyond the Stew,
He sleeps, like a saint in the holy place,
A winner of all that is good in the race.

Taylor: Tell me ain't so! Webster has to be alive since Sheila and I
have been preparing our 2 year old grandaughter Ava aka The Queen of
England to read Websters this weekend and look for mistakes.She has
been read to from Baby Einstein books since day 1. She is staying with
us all weekend and we're excited. Can't get enuff of that kid.
I will try to get something done in the studio while the ladies read
and do art. Both ladies will need a nap.
Cheers,
Tony
