"Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something."
- Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
Isn't that the truth. Tonight in the process of trying to wrap a PVC archery bow with duct tape, my husband gave up in frustration. Seeing that it would be easier to wrap if the width of the tape was halved, I gave it a shot. And got it on the first try.
Now he has three more for me to wrap. I have something like 8,000 words to write before midnight on Monday. There is a moral to this story, and that would be this:
Sometimes, it's better to shut up and be right in silence, than follow through with the need to prove how right you are.
