In memory of Gary Moore who has just died aged 58, I went to see him in 2009 and he was just fantastic.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Apparently some balding British bloke is marrying that Kate plus 8 girl...
I woke up this morning, started getting ready for work when the phone rang. This usually means the wife has got a substitute job and I have to call in for some personal time so I can get the kids off to school as she gets ready to go out.
Sure enough, that's what happened.
So, I make coffee instead, call in for a couple personal hours and turn on the news to get the traffic reports.
That was a mistake. Instead of any news I heard thousands of screaming women cheering for some balding dude that I don't know that is marrying some girl named Kate. So I changed to the Business News channel... there was coverage on how "surprising" it was that some girl named Catherine was wearing a dress that some other girl was supposed to have worn. So I changed to a different local channel, there was some Brit lady sitting next to the local reporter talking about something royal and the wedding of some girl named Kate...
Now... I don't get this at all. Who cares about this balding bloke marrying the Kate plus 8 girl? I didn't know she was quite that good looking, I've never watched the show, a bit skinny but after 8 kids?! Wow. I didn't know that Kate plus 8 was even followed in Britlandia. Good for you Brits, I'm happy you're excited about people you don't know getting married, but what the heck does that have to do with interrupting my traffic reports?
Now I'm at work, still have no traffic report, and what is even worse... The local talk show was covering some wedding somewhere....
WTF???
