My previous post was a response to the mood of your post, it recalled a state of

mind

at some remembered time when similar thoughts rolled through this head. Like

any

response, it was mostly about the responder. If there had been an intent to

describe

you, it certainly wouldn't have been to call you quiet. Indeed, Tim appears to

be

hustling and bustling on email lists most of his waking hours.

The exercise, both mental and physical, is enjoyable.

The people I meet are too.

So it appears. The nodoer concept is a handy dandy means of blasting the

barriers of

hope and fear, doubt and regret, a lovely little package of high explosive. Once

it

goes off it's as gone as the rest.
