    A wise reminder in life...

    Thank you for such a very insightful discussion, as always.

    old hat

    Interesting, but I read about the same thing in college, 55 years ago. It was called, "Pecuniary Canons of Taste" by one Thorstein Veblen. Good to be reminded of it, though.

    It can''t get better than this!

    I am a devoted viewer of your weekly videos. I always learn something from each one. This message is so true and so clear that I don''t believe there will ever be another message that is better said than this one. Of course, since I''m comparing things, you message that each person is unique applies to each of your videos, too. There is no need to compare them, justlearn from each of them.

    Thanks
