Thank you for weighing in, John, because I always find your thoughts of "weight" and substance.

It's coincidental that you bring up the Wooden quote: "The true test of a man’s (or woman’s) character is what he does when no one is watching." I run across people for whom this is a foreign concept. This makes me feel lucky I have been blessed to have been taught well, had good role models, and get to hang around people like you.

And then: "Everyone else can see what you do, but only you can see what is in your heart." I've heard this put as, "We judge others on their actions, and judge ourselves on our intentions." We never really know what others intended, which helps me be more compassionate and forgiving (when I remember...).

Have a great Friday, John.
