Hmmm.  Not sure where I fit.  I *heard* these principles (everything is a
learning op) in college, *learned* them during and after college, always
hearing the echo of my prof.  I don't mind the vanagon headaches, just
wasn't planning on having headaches in this season of me life.  Does this
mean I never learned?  I don't think so.  Recognize the 'headaches' for what
they are, just don't NEED them right now!
