I my kid showed me a "meme" - Tradition is just peer pressure from the dead.

I told him tradition is tough lessons learned and passed on so you don't have to learn them yourself.

With everything going on, plus stuff I haven't talked about, I need something to help me cope.

I might take up woodworking. I think this tool should help

Is that a progressive idea put forth for all "free thinkers" to ponder? Hmmmm. Or is it Ohmmmmm? Learning the right way to respond is hard.

My father (a carpenter) used to say

"I see," said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw.

If you get a coping saw, I'm sure you'll make the cut!

That's pretty much what I try to tell my students when I explain to them elements of contracts/negotiation that I've learned, mostly the hard way, over the last 40 years or so. I tell them that I suffered so they don't have to---or, if they don't get what I'm telling them, I tell them that they should remember it anyway, because they'll remember what I told them after they make certain mistakes, and will say, "Oh, so that's what he meant..."
