Today’s Carlton Quote is from his all time hero – Theodore Roosevelt:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Misc. Gmail hint: Gmail doesn’t exactly admit that this is a “shortcut”. But, if you have keyboard shortcuts enabled Shift 3 (AKA #) moves the current message to trash.

Random observation: When some folk find out you have cancer – they immediately start telling you about all manner of alternative treatments. That didn’t work out so very good for Steve Jobs. Don’t suppose it would for Mr C either. Besides, it is a little late in the game for him to start living the pure organic vegan hear-see-do no evil life!

Great Idea: Hey, Dan Synder – change the name of the football team to the Panda’s. The Washington Pandas. Think about all the wonderful merchandise, Mr Synder. And, everyone LOVES pandas.
