A couple of realizations

This was a week of many high level decisions - I had a part in some of the long work to get ready for the General Officers to decide rather alot of important things. Overall, it went very well. I was quite elated at first, then it struck me - several of us had put in many, many hours to get these results. Fortune had nothing to do with it, nor did we do anything fancy or unique. Whoever said "luck is the residue of hard work" (or was it "of good design"?) was probably right.

On a lesser note - one thing you don't want to hear around here is the dreaded phrase, "tiger team". Really, you don't.
