    The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it -- basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them

    For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something

    3M, under the Scotch brand name, makes an adhesive intended for art and display work but also has many uses in our "sport" . The product is called "Craft Mount". In the instructions 3M suggests that to obtain the best results, one should make the bond "while the adhesive is wet, and aggressively tacky."

    I did not know what "aggressively tacky" meant until I read Phrank's quip.

    Default I think this could also be applied to Honing and the perfect edge...

    Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder

    -- Henry David Thoreau,
    American writer and naturalist

    Change "Happiness" to "Honing"....
