Gripman! So wonderful to see you here again! I've really missed you and your calm demeanor. The voice of reason has spoken. And I'm glad you're doing well.

Merrick--Thanks for the e-mail. I fired you back a note.

Pam--I hear you, loud and clear. I'm finding the temperature lately difficult to bear myself. Maybe my own revelations haven't helped anyone here? I don't know. I'll send you off an e-mail soon as well.

I do know that I'm going to follow a lead from Meredith and give Mr. W. a sheet of paper asking him 3 questions that I need answered--and the last one will be when I can expect to get an answer on them. I'll run them by the MC first. That way, I can avoid heading into my diatribe and venting.

About being a better person, let's go back to Meredith's concept of "considering".

Today I will consider not living in my head and expecting any specific outcome.

Anyone else, feel free to chime in.
