Got to plan the play and play the plan, though, I would admit to rules breaking myself from time to time. The problem with options, you are buying a self destructing commodity..."time".

Here is something for your pondering (from my wife):


And it only took us 4,000 years to get it right again~

Subject: An Earache

An earache:
2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. - That root is heathen, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.


Yes, my wife is in the business of selling those "roots" (g). She claims that without those "oligopantho cyanadines" (namely, seeds, not roots), I would b withering away like a shaking autumn leaf (g).
