Press on

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
-- Calvin Coolidge

I haven't given any thought to the weekend, since I was half expecting that I would have to work. I'm sure I'll think of something to do.
