[QUOTE="ezpacer, post: 130195, member: 819"] Thank you all! I feel that I'm already finding and collecting "nuggets" of the best-- good advice! LC76, good you so appreciate the opening line of Robert Service's poem "The men that don't fit in", describing the men he observed in the Alaska gold rush of the 1890's. That poem became my mantra when I found it as it so truly describes the case of those of us who walk to a different drummer, to borrow another tried and true descriptor. I recited the poem to my wife-to-be on the first day of our meeting five years ago, so as to give her a fair "heads-up" up front, but fortunately or not for her, she ignored the clear warning and now lives with the reality, but somehow has managed to stay in love! ;) Wikipedia has a very interesting page about his life, and the poem, with all his others, is very enjoyable to read and contemplate. Best Regards, Glenn [/QUOTE]
