Sometimes I think: What if the Internet goes into bankruptcy and files a Chapter 11? The Synthzone would vanish and no one in the "family" here would know how to get in touch with each other. Or if someone "passes on"...none of us would know about that. I don't think any of us left instructions to our executor to notify the fellows in the Synthzone that we've "kicked the bucket."

The other night I was making gravy and it splashed on my shirt. I had to take 30 minutes to wash it out before it stained. That 30 minutes could have been avoided if I was more careful. That caused me to think about what Tony Mads wrote about with his rotator cuff accident and his warnings. I remembered how careless I was when I slipped and fell on the ice and had to spend the next 2 years dealing with a torn ligament in my knee.

And the time I was doing pullovers and tore my forearm muscle. Another 2 years recovering from that.

It's much easier to simply do what Tony said. Pay attention and avoid all these unnecessary happenings. It's kind of like you're driving your car and you haven't got a care in the world and suddenly you rear end someone because you weren't paying attention and you have to spend the next month taking a taxi to your gig while your car gets repaired.

I'm going to be more careful now when I make gravy. I value my 30 minute chunks of time!
