OK, so it's not a particularly original title, but I'm currently reading the 5-part "trilogy" (grin) by Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and it just feels right to me right now...

Anyway, if you're really interested in the answer to the above question, it's "42" ...

Mary's Rules of Life

1. Know yourself.
2. Be true to yourself.
3. Tight lines and sharp hooks.
4. Spend as much time exercising as you do brewing.
5. It's not as difficult as you think it is.
6. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it.
7. Stay focused on what you're doing.
8. Even if you're lost, try to make good time.
9. Nothing outside of yourself will make you happy.
10. Buy low, sell high.
11. Wherever you go, there you are.
12. As long as one is learning new tricks, one can't possibly be an old dog!
13. Never trust a thin, impatient brewer.

Good Brewing!
