strength of character

[sergebroom]

I've finally assembled those modular storage cubes for Sue. Time now to read some Hugo finalists. And I am proud to say I had the strength of character to stop watching William Wyler's "The Best Years of Our Lives" after the opening credits of what I consider to be one of America's best films. If I had not stepped away early, I'd have watched the whole thing even though I've seen it more times than my limbs have digits.
