  1. Thanks for the comments here. I just wanted to say that it took me WAY too long to figure out how to do (what I now know is) a “photo quote” like this. In the end, I opted for building a PowerPoint slide and created a jpeg out of it. I’m pleased with how it turned out even if my beard went grey in the process… Sigh.

    When I was an athlete competing in a sport where judges scored my performance my coach used to say, “If they’re being biases in their scoring, then do your skill so much better that they HAVE to give you a higher score.”
