 NB>> The proper counselor response to that is, so take the record off
 NB>> the player... :)  
 ML> Would be good if glib advice except that as in many such
 ML> cases the voice is hard-wired in.
 NB> Ah... for that, one has to drown it out with something louder... yeah,
 NB> I know, still rather glib...  :)

Problem for many is that the drowning is done with
alcohol or drugs. Or odd obsessions and mental quirks
that are mostly detrimental; though, as I believe I've
said, most intellectual innovation appears to me to
have come from such.

 ML> And then there's the cartoon I remember that has the
 ML> little steam engine, exhausted and broken on a siding
 ML> with the caption "I thought I could, I thought I could."
 NB> Yeah, I know... Most of the "good advice" doesn't necessarily work, at
 NB> least not the way the advisor seems to think it should...  :)

One picks one's battles, as another saying goes.

 NB> I hear you.  Maybe a neurologist would have something to help the

I'm waiting until there's a significant improvement or
deprovement - if the latter, the neurology unit for me.
By the way, at MGH, the cancer and neurology inpatient
facilities are all private rooms; all others are doubles.

 ML>> Texas with Lilli.
 NB>> Is Austin the bbq trip, or is it something else that Lilli is
 NB>> after now...? 
 ML> The bbq trip, of which there will be two this year, the
 ML> other being KC with old friends. We're not overreaching,
 ML> owing to our health concerns, and a greater percentage of
 ML> our adventures are going to be domestic, 
 NB> That's wise planning...

In more planning, two separate Europe trips instead of one
big one ... and perhaps another to some third-world
country. So much for wisdom.

 NB> Keeping busy and moving, I see...  Any chance for a visit to this neck
 NB> of the woods this year...?  Have you heard anything from Fords...?

1. Possibly, but it's hard to say.

2. No, and I am somewhat curious.

 NB>> ... Chemistry professors never die, they just fail to react.
 ML> Another of those universals, this time a recipe. Thank you,
 ML> General Macarthur.
 ML> Old Aggies never die, they just smell that way. (My father
 ML> spent some years as a professor in Longhorn land.)
 NB> So did he quote that at people at times...?  Or was he more genteel
 NB> than to say something like that in public...  (G)

He didn't know or care about the rivalry except on the
one day a year when they played each other in football,
when he became incredibly partisan.
