In response to last
week’s question, "Is perfection the enemy of 'done'?", my birthday
bud Jon declared, "No, Congress is."
My writing and sailing
friend Rich lamented, "Is that why my wife keeps saying I’m not done
yet?"
My social media friend
Mark advised, "Everything is the enemy of done. But without the goal of
perfection, "done" is just barely good enough." And my
writing friend Stan suggested, "Perfection is the stalking horse for other
problems." To this, my cycling friend Ted added, "Absolutely!
At least that's how it was in Dental School."
My Parrothead friend
Samantha shared, "For me, perfection is the mortal enemy of sanity, but
thankfully, the need for perfection is easily defeated by twin six year old
boys (whom, interestingly enough, are also the enemy of sanity)."
My cousin Wes
recalled, "For 6 days, G-d created and declared it good (perfect).
Then He rested (done). OK, so we screwed it up
later. Maybe a perfect answer so I am done. :) "
My dad's beach buddy
Bob replied, "When the divorce is final with no alimony payments."
My equestrian friend
Royce commented, "when you are perfect one doesn't have to worry about
these things."
Please share your thoughts about
this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
Should we eat
Indian food on Thanksgiving?
Lord, give me a sense of humor; give me the ability to
understand a clean joke; to get some humor out of life, and to pass it on to
other folks.

Wow, what an inspiring
evening. I invite you to be inspired by leaders from several different
religions (http://faith.streamspot.com/venue/shared-archive?id=9a0df0c4e3 start about 5 min in) The Palestinian speaker at
about 42 minutes in was one of the highlights. One conclusion from the
night is that peace is a choice; it doesn't just happen. Wishing you a
joyous and happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks to Demetri Martin,
Steven Wright and George Carlin for the inspiration for Hmmm.
