(Rita Mae Brown) "Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself."

(Robert Frost) "Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one." (Eleanor Roosevelt) ________________ Laugh, Smile, Enjoy ________________ "The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for."
