It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?" "We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us."

    At least you didn't give him any encouragement. That's when the "Ice Queen" act gets really confusing, especially for us clueless guys. ("Me Tarzan, you Jane.") Seriously, I love reading your blogs. Have you considered interning for Focus or writing for Boundless?
