Vincent van Gogh
(Who stole it from a novel by Émile Zola. I guess van Gogh was bored).

Tsk, Dr. Doug. Emile Zola was the author of that quote. Van Gogh, whoever he was (!), picked it up after reading it (https://quoteinvestigator.com/tag/emile-zola/).
Not that changing the source diminishes the quote. And Lord knows you’ve displayed that anti-boredom attitude over your career. We often disagree, but our disagreements are never boring.
Happy holidays,
Avery, who will retire at the end of this year
Very impressive. I found that quote from a famous magazine’s top 50 motivational quotes. They missed it as well. Nice job, Avery, and enjoy retirement! Please keep reading my crap, though.
