Dave, I have read all of Peck's published works and it is refreshing to know he can be quoted in such an eleqant setting as this in such a way that we all understand

if you know what I mean and I know you do.

I look forward to having a little sushi, but haven't yet. My faves are sushi, sashmi (sic) and caviar, don't know much about the nutritional value of such or the tolerance of the pouch, but look forward to trying it out again and pray for tolerance. LOL BobM.

Hi Bob,

Yes, I spent several months once reading only Peck in my spare time. Great writing and advice, even though he was only able to apply the "diligence" part of it to his own life of infidelity, heavy drinking and heavy smoking. I suspect that he was so spiritual, he just couldn't get a handle on anything but being a workaholic (this one covers just about ANY other moral shortcoming, doesn't it?)

Sushi is err...soft and moist...so it err...goes down easily. In America some docs worry about the bacteria content, but here in Japan they don't unless some inflammation of the digestive track already exists. Docs here seem puzzled by the caution that American docs take over sushi and sashimi.

Best Wishes,

Dave

I tried to have some tuna this morning, but the life support system for the tuna wanted to go back to sleep. Rejection #5,493,240 by my count. But who's counting, right? I'll try to sample the tuna again tonight. I wouldn't bet the over/under. If any of you have the urge to smoke a cig tonight around 11:00 then you'll know how it turned out.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

The LATE M. Scott Peck???

WHEN did Scotty die?

Despite being a bit of a misanthrope in person, he was a gifted and visionary analyst and author.

Changed my life for the better!

Favorite concept: If the road map you're using to chart your course isn't working, you'd better be willing to CHANGE the map!

eta: Just Googled it...RIP Brother Scott.

Yes, all of his stuff was great reading. I even did the workbook. Sounds like he thought the course he was on was working for him, because he wasn't about to change it. Here's an obituary that's been up for many years:
