Hi Fudo.  Thanks for taking the time.  I hope it isn't too much more difficult 
to post while "livin' on the road"...

I understand.  And, I mean I understand it "intellectually."  In this case, I 
think that's all well and good, because it seems my intellect is often in the 
way of me returning to silence.  Thus on realizing it, of its own accord my 
intellect falls away a little (read very, very little:).  (not in failure, but 
in superfluousness).  And now I see I have built a construct describing the 
process you must know, so I will quit this here uselessness... and that last 
one... ad infinitum ;)

I realize this.  And each time I do -- I laugh and say, stop "realizing" it and 
do it.  But then again I'm caught.  As now... and again ... ad infinitum ;)

Oh.  I always forget that my empathy/reply isn't always necessary.  To really 
show thanks, I should have said thanks, and then shut up.
