That's kind of you to say, but I'm no mental giant - I just stand on their shoulders. I am actually closer in skill and knowledge to a white belt than to many of my higher-ups. But I _do_ think about it a good bit and I just write what I'm thinking about.<BR/><BR/>I sure do appreciate your reading my posts and commenting on them. Keep on coming.<BR/><BR/>You mentioned on your blog that youre about to take a vacation "down south." Where are you going? to the "real South" or just south of your frozen steppes?Patrick Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04471858995477729220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500538.post-91656730714060310782007-05-04T01:22:00.000-05:002007-05-04T01:22:00.000-05:00That was extremely profound. I intrigued about your comment about everyone having a handicap. I had to cogitate on that for a while and it felt good. In the video I couldn't even tell who was blind. Tremendous. I don't feel as if I do the amount of thought you put into your posts justice and end up writing emotional responses to your scholarly discourse, but I'm glad that I could assist in the creative process by my comments. The fellow that you mention with the one arm makes me think of a martial art that was developed by a fellow with either a severe disfigurement or congenital weakness that affected his physique. When he taught folks this art they would emulate his style as if they had the same physical issues, but I gather the students smartened up after a generation and used the basis instead of working at it rote. Can't remember what it's called though. Anyway, fantastic insight as always.Potatoe Fisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16726354074226822669noreply@blogger.com
