Worry is the interest paid on a problem before it occurs.

The key is if the economic data stays soft, maybe we don't have to worry much about interest rates anymore. Then we need to worry about earnings. What gave us a really strong move in stock prices from late May until about two weeks ago was this heightened optimism that maybe interest rates are at that high. That gave you a relief rally. Now reality is setting in -- if we've seen the worst on interest rates then we've seen the best on earnings.

I was mad after that first one, and I just decided to not worry about the form and just throw it.

Everybody probably has an area of personal interest that draws them to a certain training ... but I think, particularly in many smaller history museums, you do have to be a generalist.

I was terrified of death by the time I was three or four, actively if not lucidly. I had frequent nightmares about snakes and scary neighbors. By the age of four or five, I was terrified by my thoughts. By the time I was five, the migraines began. I was so sensitive about myself and the world that I cried or shriveled up at the slightest hurt. People always told me, "You've got to get a thicker skin," like now they might say, jovially, "Let go and let God." Believe me, if I could, I would, and in the meantime I feel like stabbing you in the forehead. Teachers wrote on my report cards that I was too sensitive, excessively worried, as if this were an easily correctable condition, as if I were wearing too much of the violet toilet water little girls wore then.

We've already had a lot of interest, both from people who want to bid and from other wellness professionals in the area. Since (the auction) has been out there, I can't begin to guess how many people have said they'd be interested in contributing if we were to hold another one.
