I'm learning a lot from you but I'm also pleased to discover there are other people with similar interests and thinking. I find that so few people put so much forethought in their decisions. It is amazing how much you analyze and use some sort of data in your choices--the way you chose your book cover for example. As you mentioned, that was a small sample, but an incredibly brilliant idea. You mentioned Jiu Jitsu. That is one of, if not my first, passions in life. Are you pretty serious about it--train often? With or without the gi? One of the best times of my life was a three week trip to Brazil just to train Jiu Jitsu during the Mundials. It was probably the most amazing experience of my life. Anyway, thanks for sharing in your blog. Chuck Hi Tim:

the amounts of research you must have gone through in 30 years sometimes seems baffling…just mentioned here was linguistics and just how you approach questions, wordage, references…i wonder how much of it you’ve just happened to learn or tackled with tenacity pre-book and purpose of life heh.

You might not have been doing this personally, but through other assistants. (its like an ant colony after a while I bet). Thanks Sean Tim, did you find that in the beginning you were feeling out individual AskSunday responders until you found one that you liked in particular, or a few?

You might not have been doing this personally, but through other assistants. (its like an ant colony after a while I bet).

Thanks

I will evaluate it for a little longer then. My first impressions were mixed. I wasn't getting responses very quickly, and I was not sure if they were acknowledging my requests. Thanks.
