I'm still pretty comfortable with that. And I like the two scorpion stories...he was a fun character to "channel." On the whole, I think that there is a lot more to be learned from a teacher who makes mistakes and fucks up along the Way than there is to be learned from a teacher who does everything "perfectly."
