Now, I am inventing not only a new character, but an entirely different play. B.F. Skinner was full of beans. We are not conditioned automatons. We are all playwrights now. And a lot of us just need a good editor.Steve Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-67616237217117768552011-11-16T15:44:44.493-06:002011-11-16T15:44:44.493-06:00I have a La Manzanilla beach view house in my sigh...I have a La Manzanilla beach view house in my sights for an incredibly low price.

Had lunch yesterday with a woman who has a house for sale in La Manzanilla at an incredibly reasonable price. If you're interested in hearing about it, email me. She is talking to me about "managing" it and staying in it til it sells! I had just said earlier in the day yesterday, "They will be done" and now this..........wow.Babsofsanmiguelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-7988761676421918922011-11-16T12:34:24.608-06:002011-11-16T12:34:24.608-06:00You, Sir, having retired, are now well on the way ...You, Sir, having retired, are now well on the way in your Pilgrim's Journey. The metaphysical battle of being begins each morning as you rise, and each evening as you turn to sleep. The presentation of self in everyday matters is no longer dictated second-nature by your social position. As I type, you are falling through social space and time.<br /><br />As was so popular to say 20 years ago: Just what precisely is the color of your parachute? Or have you learned to fly in a way that birds would not understand?<br /><br />ANMANMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-35284580434871881482011-11-16T11:47:07.937-06:002011-11-16T11:47:07.937-06:00Choosing verses was difficult.
