Mike,

Very interesting... I read through some ideas I never thought of:

"Try writing goals with your non-dominant hand"

But who knows what works until it's tried.. I'll give anything a try.
I find that as soon as I check my cynicism, I get better results
almost immediately and universally.

My favorite contribution of yours from the last post has to be "Become
a student of the situation" which ties right into my favorite Twain
quote "don't ever let school interfere with your education" or a
derivative of that thought.. which has been a close-kept belief of
mine as well.

How does this apply to vanagons? Because it seems to me that every
single thing in life is a learning opportunity, and moreover, the type
of people that gravitate towards vanagons seem to understand that
statement the first time round.

I have to be up as 7:00.. we're starting early for instructional video
shooting.. should be a really good and productive Sunday, plus coffee
and starchy wake up food is always good with a groups of folks setting
out to do something good. Hope you all have had a great Sat, night.
