Danny in the Pilates Studio

You gotta learn from your mistakes. They'll all tell you that. Over and over. Ad nauseum learn from your mistakes. Blah blah blah. That's all well and good, yeah. Pretty obvious, thanks. What's a bit harder and takes some real doing, is to learn from your successes. When you're all feeling good and high on your horse. You're sure the decisions you've made turned all the right corners, opened all those doors. Right then, right there, is the moment all is lost. Another mistake instantly made inevitable. But the most likely scenario, the one all those jokers who tell you to learn from your mistakes, and then the jokers who tell you to learn from your successes are failing to mention, is that there is no reason for winning or losing. What you do, in specifics, probably has very little to do with whatever outcome pops up. You can splash about all you like, but the tide is the tide.

Never noticed this before, but in photo 2 Danny looks like a diminutive version of Amos.

Toddy, have you ever thought of starting your own church? You've got the spirit in you boy.
