Charge of the Light Brigade

I have a lot of . . . projects . . . going on.

And I don't mean knitting projects.  (Although there are those, too.)

Just a lot of . . . things, around home and work . . . to take care of.  Or deal with.  Or put to rest.  Or tend to.  Or set to rights.

The other day, as I was trying to develop my Strategy for Project Success, I was reminded of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade.

Half a league, half a league, half a league onward.

Which, of course, immediately got me thinking about Alfalfa, and his ill-fated classroom recitation.

 

PROJECTS to left of me! (Cue: pyrotechnic explosion)

PROJECTS to the right of me!  (Cue: pyrotechnic explosion)

Into the valley of Control . . . Rode the Intrepid Organizer!

(You know what I'll be up to this weekend. . . )

Half a league, half a league
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns,' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

-- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

I am impressed that you remember that LIttle Rascals scene! I used to watch them regularly as a kid, but I couldn't tell you a single *plot*.

Have a happy (and productive) weekend!

Hang tough! I'm expecting a clip of "We are the Champions" or "Another One Bites the Dust" on Monday.

Have you made a list? I love having a list and crossing off the items as I get them done. :)
Wishing you lots of progress with the projects!
