“Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.”   —   John Updike

(Somehow . . . this appears to be the first Updike quote, since I’ve been posting these spoilers.  Interesting.  I looked at the name without the P and K for a few seconds, and drew a blank.  I was thinking the long U sound, as in Ubanks or Udall, so it threw me a little.  I felt silly when it came to me.  Be well . . . be creative and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
