====================
Hi Michael,

 RH> As a child, I had to eat what was put before me, in that form.

 ML> Yep: you get served it, you eat it. Some creativity might
 ML> be in order at times, as when you got too lumpy mashed
 ML> potatoes and too cabbagey cabbage at the same time, so
 ML> you remashed them together with a bit more butter than
 ML> your parents thought proper ... .

Hard to do when the butter isn't on the table at dinner time. Getting up
to get it would have been too obvious. Besides, my mom used the cheaper
margerines while I was growing up, didn't switch to butter until I was
out of the house. Last few times I've been up there, Dad has had at
least 10 pounds of it squirreled away in the freezer.


 RH> If I stay up too late, then I have a hard time getting to sleep that
 RH> night. However, the next night I'm usually out as soon as my head hits
 RH> the pillow.

 ML> I can't generalize about me, but then my life is just so
 ML> irregular.

More so, now that you're retired from the orchestra?

 ML> One can view the manual on line, also videos illustrating the
 ML> process. Could be very helpful before the inevitable need to
 ML> actually go and do something.
 RH> Yes, you can see how it's done (or should be done) but it's nothing
 RH> like doing it for real.

 ML> Course. But pretraining with some kind of simulation is a
 ML> very important part of the learning of numerous things.

A good number of things, yes but things like decorating a cake, not so
much. You need the hands on practice with that--learn just how much
pressure to use in squeezing the bag to get a good star--and just when
to release pressure to get the tip just right. It's not as easy as it
looks, I know because I've done so.

Catch you later,

... Nothing is ever lost. It's just where it doesn't belong.
