    DAG> No way I'm gonna be perfect.  ;)  Seriously, though, I think I'm   
    DAG> pretty good at seeing some of the areas where I dont do perfect.  I'm   
    DAG> always trying to do a little bit better, so I can at least say I'm   
    DAG> improving.  Not that I wouldn't benefit from more feedback on what I'm   
    DAG> not necessarily doing right at any one time, of course.  It's always   
    DAG> helpful to get those blindspots pointed out.  How else is one better to   
    DAG> improve the issues that don't come in to focus with only one's self?   
      
   Quite so.  :)  Best we can do is try our best, and try to improve where   
   we find deficiencies, whether we find them ourselves or have them   
   pointed out to us....  :)   
      
    NB>> I think that was about reading your mom's manuscript...  :)   
    DAG> Oh yeah.  That is on my 'next to read' pile at the very top, still.    
      
   As long as you get to it before she starts asking for feedback....    
      
    DAG> The problem that I've found with my current arrangements is that I've   
    DAG> only got the 1 room to work with here (the living room, even).  There   
    DAG> is a chair to sit at for the computer and a couch which I use as a bed,   
    DAG> alternating, with a futon, so that neither I nor my son get too bad of   
    DAG> back issues from it.  The chair is an office chair, and not really the   
    DAG> best for reading.  So, if I try to go over to the couch and read, I   
    DAG> inevitably get drowsy due to my habituation of that point being for   
    DAG> sleep primarily.  I even have that with movies now, if I try to watch   
    DAG> them over there.  It's horribly inconvenient.    
      
   Sigh...  Probably no room to get a beanbag chair in there, for reading   
   and movie watching... ;)     
      
    DAG> I should take advantage of a few of the days that are still decent   
    DAG> before it starts the constant winter downpour here and try to get   
    DAG> outside to a park to go through it or something, probably.   
       
   Now that's an idea....  or maybe go to the library...??   
      
    NB>> Not really... just the way I keep things in perspective...  the first   
    NB>> bit, though, is a bit tongue in cheek, sorta...  :)   
    DAG> Oh I'm sorry.  That was remarkably callous of me.  I must've read   
    DAG> that part with a lower-case 'g'.  My apologies if my misunderstanding   
    DAG> caused any offense.    
      
   No offense taken... I don't expect everyone to have the same perspective   
   as mine, but I also don't mind sharing my perspective... :)   
      
    DAG> I'm used to a circle of friends where the closest people to   
    DAG> straight-up christianity are people who go to a non-denominational   
    DAG> church in order to help the spiritual and moral lessons, but don't   
    DAG> really believe in 'God' (capital G). Being former cult kid and a   
    DAG> secular Buddhist, I miss and cause offense now and then.   
      
   As long as you don't take offense at my being open with my faith, we   
   should be fine...  :)   
      
    DAG> I certainly don't believe that we're anywhere near to the Earth being   
    DAG> stewarded to our full human potential (if we were all one with our   
    DAG> Buddha- selves), either.  ;)   
      
   Yup... we don't even always do all that we are capable of even in our   
   not fully realized state.... with or without God...  :)   
      
   ttyl         neb   
      
   ... The abnormal fear of giants is Fee-fie-fo-bia
