"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).

Biting People.... You Just Want To Sometimes

I laughed and laughed...... 

"Pancho was a nice guy, but he had no resistance againt disaster. When things started to go wrong he unraveled. On time he borrowed one hundred sucres to buy corn, the last one hundred sucres that I had to live on that month, and then he found that he couldn’t quite make the effort. He spent three days sadly smiling and nodding on Segundo’s store porch, delicately sipping aguardiente and talking about fate, That was one time, come to think of it, when I felt like running down the street biting people, and especially Pancho."  (Living Poor: A Peace Corps Chronicle. Moritz Thomsen)
