@Ben Owen I f*****g love this! I need to sit w// my thoughts some more. But on immediate afterwatch - what comes to mind, and what really started surfacing early on, in highshool, I was never the most popular dood (at that age those spots are reserved for cheerleaders and football captains) I played football, i played soccer - but i was the dood who was friends w// everyone - Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, teachers, janitors, principals, and deans - i got out of a lot of trouble because of some of these friendships, im pretty sure, i graduated bc of some of these friendships, and a lot of these friendships are still friendships. Even today, a little over a decade later, not to toot my own horn, but I'm the guy who gets called to build bridges, difuse situations, and negotiate - entirely, because i usually know people on "both sides of the aisle." @Ben Owen that's something Brian Cork and I had in common, and I think that's why he took me under his wing , all those years ago. I'm on you're team, my guy. Keep committing those goods deeds (and let me know when and where and how I can help)
