That's only a small aspect of the view. It's amazing and worth the 10 mile hike. You can actually stand on the edge of the cliff in so many places. The seagulls on the 'split' can be loud and the squirrels are free.

Please be careful at the edge of the cliff, I hope they have signs. My sign would read, "Careful - Cliff! - and eat salads". Tell the seagulls, "Hi, I hope you have a nice day!" for me. |

Mike, So deep. Find your socks. Your socks. Socks. Even if they are on your feet can you really find them? Good place to check.
If you have 2 colors of socks in your drawer, and it's dark, how many do you need to take out to make sure you have a matching pair? Probably all of them. Just the fact that you want socks tells me that you care about societal norms, or at least blisters. And that you want to go out. Out into the world. That magnificent world, full of wonder and, well, other stuff. Really pragmatic yet explorative on your part. But where did you last see them? Really see them. That's the profound question here. I'm going to guess they're in the hamper, washer, or dryer. But never take your socks for granted. They are like the glue that binds the top of a guitar to the sides. I'm going now to look at my sock drawer. |

But what really is moderation? The avoidance of the extreme? Allowing a reasonable amount of excess? Even Aristotle wasn't sure. And he had it way easier than you. And just between you and me, Socrates was a bit of a troll. It's true, his method was a pain in its time. Sorry, Plato. The thanks all go to you. Very generous to include the team when in fact you are a standout. A star in the sky, whose light twinkles brightly. |

As my Papa used to say, "Reach for the socks, and even if you fall short, you'll probably land on some garment." I never really understood what he meant until now. Thanks. |

I think the reason kudos may feel lacking on your path is because you are so balanced and stable, like a 3 legged guitar stand. Does anyone go up to the Dalai Lama and say, "Yo, you seem like a nice dude." No, although I'm sure he would like it. It's the same for you. But if you look hard at the wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, listen to the pauses between the words, the blank spaces in the messages, they're there. It's hard to be a tuning fork in a snarky world, but your tone rings truer than a restored Model T. |

Man, we need an LOL icon for this thread. Each response made me laugh hard and then harder. And I learned a new word: lagniappe. (For those dodos like me who should have looked it up but didn't, it means "something given as a bonus or extra gift" and is pronounced lanyap, emphasis on yap.)
"It's hard to be a tuning fork in a snarky world." Comedy genius. And pointing out that pianists of exquisite but singular talent do not rise to my level of expertise at reading tab...well, in a sentence I was transformed from a guitar-schlub to a tablature-reading savant. I hold my head high. Thank you.

Never thought of myself as being balanced, but then neither did anyone else...until now. Tony
