Thanks Share.  And I hope this isn't taken the wrong way.  What I have found to 
be a profound spiritual exercise to look at (or focus on) things - people, 
nature, bugs, animals with an unjaundiced eye.  Something, sometimes happens, 
and I'm not sure what, but it is just something I've gravitated to doing.

And I'll reveal another thing. This idea of responding in a non-reactive way, 
(or at least to some extent) is something I learned from Alex. He has no idea 
that he taught me a lesson in this.

BTW, My daughter and I really like Daniel Day Lewis, (no surprise there, as I 
think many people feel the same way)  We saw Lincoln together, and enjoyed it. 
I mean I can't say it was one of my favorite movies, but it was certainly good. 
 Especially liked Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens.
