Hi Jay - it's great to have you at the Café! If you had to pick a career other than magic (or comedy), what would it be?

Writing for film, or maybe photography (esp B+W without people in the shots) or maybe advertising (I LOVE the art of 'compelling communication') or music, I can't play an instrument, but I hope to---rather I WILL! I love the aural and the visual. They are my friends. It's been said there is only one art. And I believe that what we call 'intelligence' often comes down to an ability to FOCUS. So what am I trying to say? I'm not sure, and hey, that's fine, right? Certainty is an all too popular form of self-delusion! (PS. It's a mere 50 degrees today in my office! Darn landlord has been dragging his heels on the 'new heating system' for months now! And so my fingers are a little cold and stiff and my double looks even worse than usual!) (Note to new members: when someone types ":" combined with ")" they are creating a very small, human face that is smiling. The ":" represent the eyes while the ")" represents the smiling mouth. It is typically used to underscore/guide the interpretation of the previous sentences/sentences as funny or humorous. More often than not it is actually way to defuse/defang any hidden or not-so-hidden ideas that some may find challenging or even threatening. Now you know.) ~:) (that dash before the smile is borrowed from symbolic logic and I'm employing to underscore that the previous sentence/sentences are NOT ment to be funny. Oops, by using that smiling face I've created a paradoxical/contradictory message. Wittgenstein is my great grampa. Yogi Bear is my cousin. Bob Barker is my son. (Jay continued to pluck out his few remaining hairs with a pair of pliers.)

LOl...they make pliers that small in Canada?
