I Remain George Bailey

Ah, well.<p>

Perhaps something will come up that will still need it.<p>
I guess my days as another modern-day George Bailey will continue for a while longer!<p>
Yes, I have about the same outlook at George Bailey, knowing I could do bigger things than this but trying (often unsuccessfully) to deal with other constraints that both keep me down and help to ground me in a more honorable life.  I just love the dichotomies of life!
