Well, I closed the last thread after two weeks. . .and wonderwit had just asked for discussion on the subject of insanity. . . one commonly cited definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting different results.

That certainly defines the insanity of people like me who keep trying something in the face of what seems occasionally like insurmountable odds. Yet I do persist, because occasionally a kid I've started to wonder about does something beautiful and I get to watch.

BTW, thank you all for the chances you've given me to catch you in the act of thinking, trusting, connecting to the world around you, and just generally being amazing. I sometimes can't believe they actually pay me for this!
