"Above all, I wanted him to be clever. I always admired people who were enormously clever, you know, bigwigs from Oxford and so on. I was always almost clever, but not quite."

--- Colin Dexter, talking about his creation, Inspector Morse

That's very much the way I feel; I really couldn't have said it better: "almost clever, but not quite.". :-)

Goood morning! :)

Yeah, I can understand that - I was always smart, but never top of the pinnacle smart. Magna cum laude rather than summa. I'm cool about it, though. :)

G'morning! Ack, Rupert and I should get going before it rains...
