  1. Did you do it for love?
    Did you do it for money?
    Did you do it for spite?
    Did you think you had to, honey?

  3. I seem to be standing still - I'd better find out why!

    I love James Thurber, Ron - one of my favourite Americans.

    He also said, I think,
    "It's better to have loafed and lost then never to have loafed at all". :-)
