But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Once I began doing stand-up, I didn't get a kick out of the applause or being the centre of attention; but I did get a kick out of the jigsaw puzzle aspect of it, searching for the right bit, adding another few pieces each night until the bigger picture appears.
