just a thought
Robert Frost
(1874 - 1963) - American poet. Winner of 4 Pulitzer prizes
By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may get to be a boss and work twelve hours a day.
The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working when you get up in the morning, and doesn't stop until you get to the office.
Fire and Ice
Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire; Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference

books to check out
Trevor has inundated me with books the last few weeks
Here is a great series that Ben has really enjoyed.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians is a series of adventure books written by Rick Riordan, based on Greek mythology.
The series begins with a young boy named Percy Jackson who is diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia discovering that he is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. In the process, he learns that the Olympians still exist, along with many other figures and monsters from Greek mythology like Titans, cyclopes, and other creatures. He later becomes the owner of the sword Anaklusmos (which means "Riptide"). This was a gift from his father.
Four books have been published thus far in the series, with one more still to come:
The Lightning Thief (2005)
The Sea of Monsters (April 1, 2006)
The Titan's Curse (May 1, 2007).
The Battle of the Labyrinth (May 6, 2008).
Book 5 (May or Fall 2009).
While using much of the relevant Greek mythology as a basis for the book, some creative license is taken by Riordan.
