    Default To Maineman

    Nice to have you back. Somehow your presence escaped my notice, although my participation has been sporadic as of late. Anyway, I hope that we can leave our distant past behind us and start anew.

    Just to be clear, I'm a lot more moderate than I used to be, and not as much of an asshole.

    good to be back Brent... even though some of the scum still hasn't been cleaned out in my absence... on the whole, this is a very nice place to be, even with the occasional e-peen packing stalkers.

    When did you move to Mexico?

    we promised my daughter that we would stay in Maine until she graduated from college, which she did in May of 2011. We put our house on the market in April and we closed with the new owner in late August of that same year. We drove away from the closing, stopped by Bank of America to deposit the proceeds from the sale, and kept on driving, with two dogs and a cat in the car with us, for the next ten days until we reached our final destination here in Mexico. I hesitate to say which city because the previous poster searched me out and threatened to come accost me at my home in Maine... I don't want to give him an easy path to come to Mexico to carry out his new threat to cut my throat in the night while I sleep here in paradise.

    What I miss is posts from Joseph the Prophet...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
