How can you give something your best effort if you don't strive for perfection? Of course, once you give it your best shot, you have to let it stand, and go on to the next target!Otis Criblecoblishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637526308513869931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733834745394038633.post-5327998291163202152016-04-06T19:52:52.713-07:002016-04-06T19:52:52.713-07:00Thanks for asking!

Yes, I will; at the time, I became sidetracked with the search for more detailed information regarding Lucian's wartime work, which was necessarily top-secret at the time, so it is hard to research it now, at least online.<br /><br />At this point, I should just go on with his story, and revisit it later if anything new turns up. I'll put that back on the front burner!Otis Criblecoblishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637526308513869931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733834745394038633.post-14006443337076841322016-04-06T06:39:16.310-07:002016-04-06T06:39:16.310-07:00While I read about your explorations and journey, ...While I read about your explorations and journey, the eloquency of your prose has transcended me into a peace which reconciles my mind's propensity for anxiety. Your writings are appreciated beyond that which you intend, and for that, I am grateful. Your attention to detail has comforted me with the knowledge that my tendency to perfectionism is more normal than my own reflection allowed me to believe. Strangely enough, I found your journal, and ultimately your blog, by doing a search on sanding putty. The picture of the farm house is what initial drew me in. So engrossing is your journey, I have been unable to disengage myself from reading it cover-to-cover, so to speak. Now that I have read everything up until now, I will have a temporary void while I anticipate your next post.

That's a lot of the reason why I prefer to do things myself if I can.<br /><br />Having said that, the contractor on the Farm House work did a lot of good work. It's a shame he didn't have the character to carry that through to the entirety of the project.Otis Criblecoblishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637526308513869931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733834745394038633.post-27063739974194654242016-03-10T23:22:38.000-08:002016-03-10T23:22:38.000-08:00I see what you did there!I see what you did there!Otis Criblecoblishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637526308513869931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733834745394038633.post-7019245507174921832016-03-10T22:27:34.339-08:002016-03-10T22:27:34.339-08:00A squirrel could drown!
