Great Regulars: No point in watching the plant

too closely, either. It will blossom when it blossoms.

Patience happens to be the only virtue I have managed to make any progress toward in my life. I am much better now at taking my time and letting things happen as they will than when I was young. This has much to do with having worked for a newspaper for nearly three decades. Like the prospect of hanging, the prospect of a deadline wonderfully focuses the mind. Being anxious is a waste of energy.
