"The Ornament of a House is the friends who frequent it."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Live A Good Life

"Its faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes life worth living"
Oliver Wendell Holmes..


"I always try to be enthusiastic about my work environment
 even when the people around me don't think its cool."  jlf
