In Memory of Sidney J. Harris

When I was a kid, I used to love when Sidney J. Harris would run a special feature in his column: "Things I Learned En Route To Looking Up Other Things."

2. Breakfast.
3. A little planning.
4. Get started.
5. Recap.

A New Yorker article "Getting over it" Pretty much agreed with one of my pet theories.
