Happy Thoughts

Some time around noon the following thought popped into my head: Well at least I can say I never let school stand in the way of my education. It was such a happy claim that I found myself wondering whether I could genuinely offer it to the world and, on balance decided I could.

Of course, a couple of hours later I realised I was unconsciously quoting good old Sam Clemens - slightly misquoting, actually, as he has it as schooling, American fashion. So, some disappointment on the originality front, but it's reassuring to feel I'm at least to a small degree following in the footsteps of the great humorist (in whose honor I adopt the American English spelling herein.)
