I can hardly keep up with you--but you keep me young and thinking as well--and that's a good thing. All of this talking and thinking and discussing is enriching to me and I'm glad that through it all we remain good friends, as always. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706880921842902732.post-16647526451441695272010-11-02T04:23:04.204-07:002010-11-02T04:23:04.204-07:00Dangit, Jeannie, I had a reply worked out ages ago...Dangit, Jeannie, I had a reply worked out ages ago when you first posted this, but I think blogger ate it. I hope it was tasty, like your high altitude baked goods. :) Anyway, I know you're not engaging in skeerdy-cat thinking. But I can pinpoint the exact place where we disagree -- I don't think being alone in the woods is an unnecessary risk. :)<br /><br />But like I said, we often disagree, but you always make me think. I'm very grateful for you.Trailheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058762165478635440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706880921842902732.post-91975029319723372702010-10-26T06:26:57.904-07:002010-10-26T06:26:57.904-07:00Mmmm...generational gap seems likely. Let me say ...Mmmm...generational gap seems likely. Let me say though, I'm not afraid of risk. As you say, we face it everyday. I'm not as keen on unneccessary risk ie. a woman alone in the woods, but that is me. Actually, hiking and camping manuals promote a buddy system and not venturing out alone; this is not 'skeerdy cat' thinking. I have a SIL who has a similar mindset to yours though. I also don't feel the need to challenge myself on multiple levels as young people do today, unless being an accomplished high altitude baker counts as a challenge. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
