 Libra has concluded that to "keep on keeping on" is much more difficult than "just starting out." In his salad days Libra would hang his trousers on a nail at night and run jump into them in the morning. Nowadays he has to put them on one stiff leg at a time. Back in those days he could use the facilities, shower, and eat breakfast (if, in fact, he had his poptarts and Tang) and be out of the house in 20 minutes. Nowadays when the game is to "keep on keeping on" he is lucky to be done with the facilities in 20 minutes, and if he is out of the house in an HOUR and 20 mintes it's a good start to the day. True, back then the future was open and largely unknown, and today the future is more closed and known, but what is known now is not much to get excited about, if you know what I mean. Just "keep on keeping on." That's the ticket. Yeah, right on.
