(Our first Florence Nightingale quote . . . since I’ve been posting these spoilers. Not sure I completely agree with her. This might be an instance where sometimes it’s better to receive than to give. I always liked Florence Henderson. Great lady, in her own right. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

This quote reminds me of a Welcome Parents Night (some years ago) at my sons’ high school. I will never forget the words of the principal: ” Maturity begins when the excuses stop”.
Thanks, Mark! This covers the making side. — YUR
