“I was just sitting here, eating my muffin, drinking my coffee, when I had what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity.” – Jules, Pulp Fiction. That’s what happens with me. I relax, and suddenly I know what I need to do. And if I’m really relaxed it might not involve a flamethrower. 🙂

I first heard this one uttered by Jon Krakauer on Nova’s Mountain of Ice “Adventure is a sign of incompetence.” – Vilhjalmur Stefanson
