Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)

    John, love the poem by William Henley…

    I spotted your resume, looking for strong web dev and WPF experience. I have a couple of open requirements here in Denver (tech center), and need some help to fill them. I wanted to see if you were looking for work by chance, and if so, would you be willing to chat about your backgriound and experience?

    With a name like Weldon, you can’t possibly be a bad guy :)
