It's that old joke...

What's the difference between God and a pilot?

-- God doesn't think he's a pilot.


I think everyone needs to take a deep breath, count to 10, and in an inside voice, repeat after me:

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."


Folks, like it or not, this thing is apparently happening. We don't run this company, and we certainly don't hold the cards. I don't get the impression that anyone is thrilled about this.

But we have two choices: Accept it, and work together to make a bad situation the best we possibly can... Or, we can cut off our noses to spite our face and then stare in the mirror 5 years from now and blame each other for how ugly we look with no nose.

Your choice.
