“There are different species of laziness: Eastern and Western. The Eastern style is like the one practised in India. It consists of hanging out all day in the sun, doing nothing, avoiding any kind of work or useful activity, drinking cups of tea, listening to Hindi film music blaring on the radio, and gossiping with friends. Western laziness is quite different. It consists of cramming our lives with compulsive activity, so there is no time at all to confront the real issues. This form of laziness lies in our failure to choose worthwhile applications for our energy.” — Sogyal Rinpoche, via http://caterina.net/
Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.
– Daniel Burnham, Chicago architect. (1846-1912)

Went out to Breezy Point today to help a friend open up their beach house for the season. After doing a little work, we sat down to some excellent pizza made in their very own wood oven.

Mini snowman, or snowchild, or snow-cherub or what ever the kids are calling it these days.
