Can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay

I hate it when my White Knight impulses are thwarted.

The impulse to run shaggily around a chessboard, stopping only to talk to the Red Queen and Alice?

This isn't in reference to your lovely email this AM, is it?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Not at all, dear. It's in reference to a friend whose hand would not mind some holding. Said hand is, alas, thousands of miles away.

Think about trying to do the same thing 100 years ago. Telephones and Internet do allow some hand-holding. And there are reliable airplanes, if the situation becomes dire.

I do not debate that this job is easier now than it was at the Dawn of the Gilded Age. And airplanes are, alas, much of the trouble in this situation.

Hmm, out of the loop. Can only hope it works out. ;)

(You will note now that my White Knight impulses as relate to you were not thwarted nor even slowed down....)
