    While I would agree, sometimes, taking that looooong breather and thinking about it, helps to put it in a whole new light, and either the answer is still yes, quit, or No, figure out how to make it better. I've done both, and once, it took a 4 day weekend to clear my head, write down the good/bad/ugly and realize that stress was causing the Ugly, the Bad I could make work in my favor, and the good I could negotiate an improvement. 2 days and a long talk later, the good was negotiated better, the bad got it's butt kicked, meditation made the Ugly go away.

    Years ago I sat in a taxi in Missouri and the driver an old guy greeted me with:

    If it smells like provolone you leave it alone.

    Then continued with


    You eat the hole you eat the pole.


    My response was I’m gonna love Missouri, now drive.

    Any time anyone got up to go to the bathroom, my dad would say “Mention my name, you’ll get a good seat.”
