I guess I just did! :-). It was great to meet you both and I really enjoyed our conversations, since we do have that plate spinning in common! I look forward to seeing you next year.<br/><br/>Herman, I just love how you put such an interesting spin on my posts! You just may be right about how Zen and "Half-Fullness" go together. And yes, watch out for those earthquakes.<br/><br/>Connie, nope, we won't string you up. Heck, I'd have one of these a month if we could pull it off! Keep dreaming and we'll see what happens.<br/><br/>All the best to all of you! Thanks Jesse, Derrick, Herman and Connie for stopping by!

Jesse, good move splitting into two blogs – keep writing, you are good at it!

Derrick, I should have given you and Michael some credit for this post, since we were talking about this very thing on Saturday. I guess I just did! :-) .

Herman, I just love how you put such an interesting spin on my posts! You just may be right about how Zen and “Half-Fullness” go together. And yes, watch out for those earthquakes.

Connie, nope, we won’t string you up. Heck, I’d have one of these a month if we could pull it off! Keep dreaming and we’ll see what happens.

All the best to all of you!

You and Liz and Chris and Lisa and Mike and the whole gang will probably string me up just for mentioning it. LOL<br/><br/>Awesome job, Mr. M.C.! My glass is not just half-full; it's getting close to the brim.

Glad to hear that it was only a false alarm. The man in the middle of the three ring circus has a secret unbeknownst to the rest of us. His plates have a hidden indentation in the center to help keep the plates on the poles. For some of us, our deftness comes from leaving the plate-spinning in the hands of those who know how to hide their secrets best. If we tried spinning the plates we are guaranteed that something will break or someone will get injured. For the uninitiated, plate spinning has catastrophic and tectonic implications. A slight movemeet in tectonic positioning will result in either an earthquake or a tsunami. A friend told me of how he once was eating by his keyboard and ended up creating an additional laundry job for himself (earthquake). While he was doing the laundry his cat knocked over his drink and it spilled on very important school work he was planning to turn in the next day (Tsunami). Plate spinning is thus not easy. It takes a glass-half-full perspective to master the zen of plate spinning. Welcome back to the festival. Glad to hear that it was only a false alarm.
