Exhale...
I found these words on the blog of a former classmate:"The urge to be top dog is a bad urge. Inevitable tragedy. A sensible person seeks to be at peace, to read books, know the neighbors, take walks, enjoy his portion, live to be eighty, and wind up fat and happy, although a little wistful when the first coronary walks up and slugs him in the chest. Nobody is meant to be a star. Charisma is pure fiction, and so is brilliance. It's the dummies who sit on the stage, and it's the smart people who sit in the dark near the exits. That is the Lake Wobegon view of life."

My sentiments exactly! I subscribe to the Lake Wobegone philosophy of enjoying the simple things in life and to hell with the rest......except for a Broadway play ever now and then! -Satisfied Suz
