You Have Been Warned

No need to be alarmed, we're all just overly concerned for your welfare.

Good morning!

Again, not to be an alarmist, but you will be expected to come up with stuff today.

“No big deal,” you respond, “I came up with stuff yesterday and I survived.”

True, but you were younger and more vigorous yesterday. I’m just saying.

Our old friend Warren Hebert would remind us that the older we get the harder the curriculum.

I hear your vociferous, overly educated protests, yet our even older friend, Benjamin Franklin will quickly retort to such utter nonsense that “the older I grow the more apt I am to doubt my own judgments and to pay more attention to the judgments of others.”
