Oh my goodness...something new (maybe old)..Thanks for sharing ( I think ).. Actually your story included all of us... In one way or another we've all been there and you just led us through it...pulse beat by pulse beat...Maybe humility can be found internationally and "privately"...down under... Love every word you wrote...always a lesson...

Possibly a lesson folks would rather not learn? Thanks for the willingness to cover new terrain with me, Barry. Ha! :)

My college roommate hated the word bottom. Perhaps it was an unconscious nod to her that I never used that particular term. Thanks for the comment, Debra! :)

Not if I can help it. When I left that day, I told him I hoped we'd never see each other again. :D
