Thanks Doug :-)

Bored to death, suprised to hear the hats are the biggest selling throwback item. I know my ole man loves em because it resembles the Wyoming Cowboys so much. It’s like rooting for both of your favorite teams at once.

How does if feel having your secret identity out (Douglas A. Lee)?

Victor Frankl:

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
