...and there it is; the last-ditch, fall-back argument whenever a painful truth emerges..."The forum is an ARRANGER forum".

Regarding getting old, they always say "the first thing to go is ....." but more and more I'm beginning to think the first thing to go is a sense of humor. Seems like if you're an Arranger enthusiast (and old), there is zero tolerance for ANYTHING perceived as negative, even if it's obviously said in humor. I'm guessing the kids in your neighborhood have learned to stay off your lawn. Unfortunately, we don't live in a world where everything is to your liking. BALANCE is good. Everything on this earth has SOME bad attributes and you probably shouldn't work yourself into a frenzy if someone points one out. The word for today...CHILL.
