"Brevity is the Soul of Wit"

       Yesterday, I exceeded my self-prescribed limit for number of words per entry in this blog.  As I was doing so and forgiving myself because I was in a hurry to finish and get to bed with a busy day ahead of me, I thought of George Bernard Shaw.

       In a letter to a friend, Shaw said, "I'm writing you a long letter because I don't have time to write a short one."
