Hmmm. Not sure where I fit. I *heard* these principles (everything is a learning op) in college, *learned* them during and after college, always hearing the echo of my prof. I don't mind the vanagon headaches, just wasn't planning on having headaches in this season of me life. Does this mean I never learned? I don't think so. Recognize the 'headaches' for what they are, just don't NEED them right now!
