I guess that even though my genetic background is probably Neanderthal, my spirit is "puritanical": I feel that relaxation (as opposed to recuperation, etc.) is the privilege of those who have accomplished everything else they wanted to achieve. I have even managed to turn watching television into anthropological fieldwork (albeit of a relatively physically undemanding kind).... There will be all eternity to rest in anyway. However, certainly our *reduced product cycle time* afficionados might indeed to well to sit down long enough to see some consequences of their actions before they stir up the pot even more. My invitation remains for someone to offer a proof that haste has ceased to make waste. \brad mccormick > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brad McCormick, Ed.D." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 11:15 AM > Subject: Re: FW: is there a silver lining to forced delayed retirements? > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > > Milton Berle was asked when he was going to retire.
