Hi Carol,


I have to say I can't easily connect what is happening to much of what you
write.  Perhaps you are trying to illustrate the 'astrological paradigm' for
me by example by showing the difficulty of interpreting celestial events?  If
so, you have made your point, but quite frequently people get much more
specific, usually after the fact, around here.

I can quite honestly say that cursing European drivers on the way into work
every day is about the only 'angry' situation I have found myself in lately!

Well I did actually solve a problem I had been working on before Christmas
last Friday, but it was not insurmountable by any means, and did not require
any vast creativity (well, getting our stone-age graphics package PAW to work
is always a challenge), but merely my getting sick of putting it off and
investing the needed time.  This is part of what I would not call a New Year's
resolution, but rather just a decision to procrastinate less.  Ditto taking
care of some overdue letters to the IRS today.  But as you can see I'm still
burning time in alt.astrology, so it's not clear whether this is a successful
behavior modification or just the usual good New Year's intentions falling by
the wayside.  I suppose you could tell me...

Again, hard to interpret in light of your general comments.  But I appreciate
the response and the more congenial tenor of this discussion compared to what
we have suffered through in the past...perhaps that is the real breakthrough?
