I often forget, myself.

On a tangent...

Walking the dogs the other night, I noticed that the grass was full of
fireflies. I got as excited as a kid, it was 9:00 at night but I dragged my
family out to see them. I saw some heads poking out of windows, the
neighbors must have thought we were freaks.

We're a bit aways from the ocean, but I saw a hermit crab the size of my
fist toddling across the driveway yesterday morning. I'm like that dude in
Green Acres, I'm a city boy but I'm loving this country crap. Except I have
no desire to actually farm.

I have never had a real meltdown either -- I left first! I do remember,
however, for the first year or so my personal commitment to nonviolence was
tested sorely a time or two...
