I've often wished I had known my grandmother better. One of her favorite sayings was that if everyone in the world could throw their problems into a pile, and choose someone else's, everyone would search for what they'd thrown and take them back.

Oh wow. Richard, that is glorious wisdom. This resonates deeply with me. My nanny's last words to me were: Be good. and if you can't be good, be careful. She used to tell me that all of the time. That and the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
