Reminds me of a joke: One day, there was a man in a small blimp, flying over the countryside. “Gosh, I’m lost, and I’m late meeting my friend”, he thought. “I wonder if there’s someone around here who could help me?” He looks down and sees a large clearing, with a man sitting at a picnic table, eating a sandwich. “I’ll bet HE can help me!”, thought the balloonist. He maneuvered his blimp and was able to hover near the clearing. “Hey down there!”, yelled the balloonist. “Oh, hello”, replied the man. “Hey, listen, I’m hoping you can help me out here. I’m supposed to meet a friend of mine around here somewhere, but I’m not exactly sure where, I don’t know where I am, and I’m already late. Can you tell me where I am?”, asked the balloonist. The man replied, “You’re at Miller Park”. The balloonist said, “Yeah, okay, but WHERE is that exactly?” “You are approximately 7 miles southwest of town”, replied the man. The balloonist scrunched up his nose… “Can you be more specific?”, he asked, with some mild irritation in his voice. “You are in a small blimp, hovering approximately 30 feet off the ground”, replied the man. “You MUST be an engineer”, the balloonist spat out, now clearly annoyed. “Why, yes I am. How did you know?”, asked the man. “Well, the information you’ve given me is technically correct, however it is of no use to me. All you’ve done is delay my trip, and make me even more late than I already am. Frankly, you’ve been no help to me at all. Thanks for nothing!”, retorted the balloonist. “You MUST be a manager”, replied the man. “Yes, I am. How did you know?”, asked the balloonist. The man replied “Well, you’ve made promises to other people that you have no idea how to keep. You swooped in here unannounced, interrupting my lunch, expecting me to solve the problem that YOU yourself created with no context or information. And now, somehow YOUR failure is MY fault!”

I don’t agree with what LSH is saying, but the fact that some would think that does explain a lot.

I thought that was Dakota. Although one can never have enough dear friends.

I, too, threaten others with friendship.

When LSH is right he is right! There IS an arrogance to having enemies. We are putting our desires ahead of others.

Phoebe’s too young to be learning about masochists.
