As I have gotten older, the truth in the following socratic sentiment has become clearer and clearer: "All I know is that I know nothing." Of course, I'd say that's hyperbole. But, then again, I'm still "young." @Carson — I am totally with you.

I'm so glad you decided to change your style of blogging.
