"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

The Capital Of Africa Is?

"When I change planes in Dallas to fly to New York and then to Mali via Paris, I had been seated beside a friendly young woman who said she went to college in Dallas. She asked me where I was from. This question was getting more and more difficult to answer, but when I replied that I presently live in Africa, she exclaimed, "Africa! That's amazing. What's the capital of Africa?"
(Waiting For Rain: Life and Development in Mali, West Africa. Lewis Lucke. Pg 107)
