[Al Skierkiewicz]

I don't know why but this reminded me of a quote from one of my favorite authors, Robert A. Heinlein. While taken out of context, it basically reads "if you don't play, you can't win". Though he is a great science fiction author this book is titled "Time Enough for Love".
While some of Robert's books are now superceded by modern scientific discoveries, the context is still an interesting read. For those of you interested enough to pick up one of his books, you have to get through the first three chapters, the rest of the book is a breeze. Heinlein gets all of the housekeeping done early so he can concentrate on a good story.
