In
response to last week’s question, "When is it too much?", my
engineering friend Steve described this as, "It's too much when the
involved body part feels like it's going to explode." While Steve
may have been referring to rafting or running, my dad's beach buddy Bob warned,
"after the 4th martini." To this, my project management buddy
KJ explained, "It's when the risks outweigh the benefits. Touche."
My
sailing friend Tom explained this as, "When it starts running over the
top" to which my friend Royce counseled, "It's after it's too
little." My cycling friend Ted replied, "Never--if the subject is
sex. Always- if the subject is work."
My
writing and sailing friend Rich recalled, "It's when my wife applies the
correction (dope slap) to the back of my head."
My
college roomie John summarized, "Too much fun, not sure? Too much
money, hmmm? Too much of certain people, you will know soon
enough. Too much time with family and friends, haven't hit that
yet, but I live alone."
My
training friend Bruce, whose unwritten history includes time touring with 3 Dog
Night, suggested, "When they're arrested for stalking."
And
my sailing friend Brad responded, "Hal, you are always too much."
Please share your
thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
Is it still
grouper if you eat it alone?
(from my cycling friend Ted)
Life may not be the
party we had hoped for, but while we're here we should dance (and laugh).

My cousin Sunny (http://www.suncoach.com/category/blog)
passed along insight from her husband Roy, a former air traffic controller, who
explained that in aviation, 'you have weather' when conditions are such that
instruments may be required when flying. Thought you'd
like to know!"
