Re: Mind's Eye Re: Good and bad

That I've felt a sense of irony about my task says nothing about my
salt, it just seems I tensed up and remembered to take a breath 27 years
later. That sounds like silly psychobabble but that was the feeling.
Your hint at choosing the best parts was quite helpful in retracing time
without falling into a hole, thanks gabby and I agree both forward (as
you said) and backward. The consistent virtues, in my case intuition and
determination, which set the task.

You are either tough as nails or trying to pry a laugh outta me gabby,
