Thank you, Grampster. Most people who know me would say that I don't think enough.

His posts recently have been hitting close to home for me lately.

I am going away from civilization up to the Porcupine Mountains and maybe Isle Royal to think.

Sometimes it takes years just to say or write what has been perculating inside for years.

+1...

Here's another vote to encourage Monkeyleg to depress the clutch and put his grey matter in neutral for a bit.

My little ones give me focus and clarity of purpose, I've got no choice but to shoulder on for the next 18 years or so...

However, these "hour of the wolf" posts are getting to me too.

Is there any way Oleg can set up a contextual filter that will force Monkeyleg to post something funny before APS allows him to post something 'maudlin again? Wink
I promise not to duck.

Point taken. I'll keep my reflections to myself for awhile.

However, if Barbara mentions again that her friend called her "Tsunami thighs," all bets are off. Wink

Seriously, don't ever think you can't unload on us.

This is all just an off-handed way of telling you to cheer up, because you've got plenty to be proud of.

Someone who did even 1/10th of what YOU do for RKBA in WI would by definition have to be a very special individual.

AJ, I'm plenty cheered up.

The post about "reality hitting my wife...again?" She's becoming a conservative. Where's the downside to that?

(If you want to read something a bit depressing (not depressing about me), check out my next post on THR in the strategies/tactics section. I'll have it written in an hour or so, or whenever I get over there.)

I got some indication of what the internal polling is showing for the Doyle/Green race. Lots to be cheery about there.

Read my last post on my "planning" thread.

The one thing I really like about APS is that it's like a small family. While I've met a few of the people who post here, most I only know through this forum. Yet I feel like I've gotten to know many very well.

And I feel that I'm able to say things here, within the bounds of good taste of course, about my life that I wouldn't say to my own family, neighbors, or most face-to-face friends.

I really thank Oleg for that opportunity.

Dick,

Please email me anytime.  I'd be happy to talk, and some of our mutual musings on life might be better suited for a conversation, instead of a broadcast, if some folks have a hard time with your introspection.

Hey Dick.  I was just joking.  I think you know that but....I appreciate your musings.

They lend support to the fact that we all have some things scrabbling around for attention.  I hope you took this topic in the tongue in cheek intent that it was meant.
APS is a great place for turning the muse loose.

Patriots in Wisconson should be proud of your work.  Molon Labe.

Best regards.
