Hi Anita,

Seem to be out of synch… I keep posting, *then* finding you’ve replied in my email.  Have to start checking first.

Well… I’m also one of “those people” who is uncomfortable with silence within a group (AA meetings can be that way at times, and when I’m chairing a meeting and it gets quiet like that, I get more antsy by the second ’til someone speaks), and I suppose that maybe this is the keyboard equivalent of “filling the uncomfortable silence.”  I’ll try to remember to think about what I want to say *before* I just start filling the space.

Ironic… I also used to shoot (paper, not animals), and whenever I’d hear somebody just “hosing bullets,” emptying the magazine as fast as he can pull the trigger, I’d get all mentally disparaging of what he was doing; there’s far more benefit in ten carefully, mindfully and consciously aimed shots than there is in sending an entire box of lead downrange.  That’s the image that just popped up in relation to what I was talking about in the above paragraph.  Huh.  People who live in glass houses….

Thank you for the reference; I will be looking him up.  Immediately.
