“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”

“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “

well, doesn't seem like people are too excited about your lasagna - sorry. i certainly am!! but since you were just over, i thought i'd be polite and give someone else the opportunity to share your company.
but, i can no longer resist the temptation of cheese, noodles and meat! oh, wait... meat, huh? actually, i guess noriko wouldn't be too keen on that after all... unless it happens to be veggie lasagna?

Sadly, it's meat, meat, meat, all the way through.

Maybe she can eat the cheese off the top. Or we can order in some extra pizza....
