War & Peace

I received a nice Season's Greeting from Mudcat Mike this morning and it included a quotation bearing some really good advice.

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better man.

        — Benjamin Franklin

I know from personal experience that the converse is an easier course to follow and, despite my best intentions to the contrary, do too often tread upon this poor path.

I pray your efforts be more successful than mine.
