   Sometimes we learn from one another.  I know I've picked up a clue or two   
   here.  Not always in the things said, or in the way they're said, but maybe   
   just some connection that reminds me of other connections and lets   
   something slip into place.  It seems like just hanging out and talking   
   about common interests causes learning all around, like osmosis.

   For me it's part of reawakening every morning.  It reminds me of some of   
   the things that make me who me be.

   Yep, there are games played here from time two time within times sometimes.

   I'll be lucky to live that long.  For me, the morning writing dance has a   
   function.  The afternoon writing dance has a different function and is   
   mostly written in code.  But without remembering the whole, which is made   
   of the remembered parts, if the parts are remembered, that's a start.  Just   
   having a list of parts makes some designs obvious, if they're simple   
   enough.

   Do you think people would try to kick my ass if i said "most people" are   
   very involved in the process "most" of the time?
