First Month Gone?

It's the end o' January and the month is almost gone?!?

This is not a thought about Life Slipping Away - it's real-time tragedy: an entire month has gone by without getting started on anything!

It's sure fun to make jokes, snide remarks and superior commentary on how everything is Plan, Policy and Proclaim from the top. It is not so fun to realized that, in the middle of "leaning," the whole first month of the year has gone by without a single proclaimed policy plan being enacted to produce a salable product or service.

With apologies to both Walt Whitman and Sherwood Schwartz, creator of Gilligan's Island . . .

O Captain, my Captain!
Our ship by winds are tossed
And Gilligan's now at the helm
We're surely wand'ring lost.
