My motto
I have a Latin motto by which I live my life: "nullae bracae ante meridiem."
It translates loosely as "no pants before noon." In other words, there is nothing that gets accomplished before 12 noon that couldn't just as easily be done AFTER 12 noon.
This factoid erupts because I (in upstate NY) and our former CFO (Pete deVaux), who lives on Vancouver Island, were exchanging emails at (what for him) was about 5 in the morning. When questioned about this bizarre behavior, he replied ...
I've always had weird sleep habits. I get up between 4-5 which is why it was no accident that I was (virtually) the first one in the LA office which, of course, meant that I made the coffee."
I reported to Pete. He always thought I showed up on time in the morning because I had respect for my job and didn't want to get fired. In fact, it was simply the lure of coffee.

Steve my latin motto for years was in vino veritas. Sometimes I had my pants on... sometimes I didn't. Usually was a result of my vino. Didn't get much deeper than that.
