	<description><![CDATA[Taffy had a wonderful moment added on to yesterday's thread. Some of the rest of you leeches should add something also. Someone wrote and commented that I sound bored. I may be a little but not George Saunders bored. (If you want an explanation of that write me) I am not really bored. I am unstimulated. Every day used to be a competition. Days full of dreams and fears, attentions and slights, enemies and potential enemies. Now, I wake to a certainty that my day will be spent drifting on a calm sea and I fall to sleep having conquered nothing.<BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>"For is it not true that the intensity of searching for something is merely a mask for our fear of actually finding it?"</BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>
James Webb wrote that in The Emperor's General. What's missing these days is the search. I'll have to consider taking some chances in the coming year. Without a fear of failure what is the joy in success. I thought of another quote. Dorothy Parker. "They sicken of the calm who knew the storm"<BR><BR>
Feel free to write anytime. I don't mind what anyone writes about me as long as it isn't true.<BR><BR>
