Quote of the Day (Nelson Mandela, on ‘What Counts in Life’)
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we
have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will
determine the significance of the life we lead.”—The late South African
President Nelson Mandela, “Address on the 90th Birthday Celebration of Walter Sisulu,” Johannesburg, South Africa,

I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
