the affair is over

My summer affair has run its course. Yes, I admit, it was a vibrant younger thing that caught my eye. And yes, it was fun while it lasted.

But at the end of the day you always return to your true love. Sorry, color film; I'm going back to the black and white.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
