"...I plan to steal that line!"  You can't, because I'm giving it to you, free of charge!  Take anything else you want along with it.

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm pretty much out of the career business at this point.

Just speaking of turning a phrase, and off-topic, I'm still waiting to hear one phrase from the Great Orator that anyone can remember the next day.  Lincoln's first inaugural address--his first words spoken as President--was a work of art:  "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war."  "Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.  The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone...."  He wrote it himself, of course, in the back room of a store.  I'm still waiting, after more than a year, for that first memorable phrase from our most gifted orator and his cadre of speech writers.
