You can’t stink at something unless you go out and try it. I have some spectacularly sad tales to tell about the past week, but they won’t edify anyone unless I post them here. Being a bad blogger is a lot easier than being a bad fisherman. Tonight’s the night.

The secret to Thomas Edison’s success? “I make mistakes faster than anyone else.” Amen.

Thomas must have been pretty fast, all right, because I am making mistakes as fast as I can but am still pegged at zero percent on the success meter. I guess that makes me a success, right? If you can’t be the best, be the worst (or the wurst in Deutchland).
