the week is over
Today is your day.
You're off to great places.
You're off and away....
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy and footsy as you....
And when you're in a slump
You're not in for much fun
Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.
You will come to a place where the streets are not marked
Some windows are lighted
But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!...
Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying
You'll find the bright places where boom bands are playing....
And when you're alone
there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants
There are some down the road between hither and yon
That will scare you so much you won't want to go on
But on you will go though the weather be foul
On you will go though your enemies prowl
On you will go though the Hakken Cracks howl
Onward up many a frightening creek
Though your arms may get sore
And your sneakers may leak
On and on you will hike
And I know you'll hike far
And face up to your problems whatever they are
You'll get mixed up of course as you already know
You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.
So, be sure when you step
Step with care and great tact
And remember that life's One Great Balancing Act!
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
(98 3/4 percent guaranteed)
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!!
So, be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea
You're off to Great Places
Today is your day!
have a good day all...

In reply to: good poem or whatever it was anne. I liked it. yall have a great weekend. erica
it is a book by dr. suess
"oh...the places you'll go"
i received a copy of this book when i graduated from college
i read it to the kids last night..i needed a little inspiration...
dr. suess is saying:
life is scarey, but if you don't take chances
you'll never move mountains
and the most important thing i have learned...
although you MAY try and take a chance, there is no guarentee that it'll work out
but you can't let that hinder you...you hafta keep trying...

Today bites. I'll spend most of it packing my office and moving it to the other end of the campus.
Tomorrow, I run! 13.1 miles of pure suffering which, against all odds, I feel ready for. Tomorrow will be good. But no climbing.
Sunday is family play day. Sunday will be good. But no climbing. Probably.
Dr. Seuss knows his stuff. I think the most important thing I learned from him is keep $@%#S* cats out of your house. Smart man.
