It’s actually the subtext of my book, which I'm trying to plant into the heads of the youguns....available below from Amazon.com (sorry, couldn’t resist). But all in all, I guess I am trying to leave something behind here, at least for the future digital archeologists to dig up. Happy to be of butt kicking assistance; now start writing....Brian Moloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849274639037366384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101100994610518373.post-63781332078274049462016-02-24T12:24:06.649-05:002016-02-24T12:24:06.649-05:00Well!

As I see it, not enough of you are pulling your weight in making my world a place to be proud. And apart from that Moloney cat there are not too many new ideas for me to consider in 'Ropey Mode' May I also remind My World of Albert Einsteins: We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." and so on...... By the way, whose turn to do the garden this week? It seems that I have been doing it for a lifetime.Cliff Lettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824271347133632569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101100994610518373.post-61896773784019549862016-02-24T12:01:19.450-05:002016-02-24T12:01:19.450-05:00outstanding, brian.

"the world though our perspective"....THAT'S IT!!! <br />my hiatus has been too long. i think you just gave me the good swift kick in the behind (like my grandfather used to with his work boots when we were late coming home from playing in the good 'ol neighborhood).<br />thank you, brian...<br /> “Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.<br /><br />It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.”<br /><br />― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315082772938694523noreply@blogger.com
