Thinking outside our normal perspective is healthy and necessary to keep life balanced. It ain't always easy though. Patrick

We are from whence we came–opportunistic predators. When we get wealthy because of it they call it good. When we get unhealthy because of it, they call it bad. Whatever you call it, you and I both have it.

Believing in good old Saint Nick

It's about time! And now that you believe, Ma, Me, Mean Tall Woman, and All Our Critters Hope You're Gonna Be Extremely Generous This Year!!

Different for you Ed, a great side.

I liked this as it shows the more serious side of Mr. Matlack and of course the part about believing in Saint Nick is good for business...ho ho ho.

Hah! I have decided, Ed, that unless we do things to others, most of our sins can be dealt with by rote. Nothing stays the same, yet everything stays the same just under different names and different rules. I maintain, that unless we hurt other with our puny "sins" it matters not, unless of course we sin against the state or the government, then we will be paying for our sins in a physical manner as we look out the bars and say, "Damn, why'd I do that?"
