SOLUTIONS
16 June 2011

Solutions of all kinds
are deeply satisfying,
(Hannibal’s “I LLLove it when a plan comes together” and all that)
but sometimes
one needs to ponder
(like whether “ponder”
is a transitive
or intransitive verb)
the results,

preferably first,
but afterwards counts too,

though,

like a structural change
to a working complex database,
the cost is less
in time, money, frustration,
withheld satisfaction and happiness
and all their implications,

if you take the time
to think it through
and get it right
the first time round.

Oh, but the repair kits of the world would go out of business if we got it right the first time, Owl. Hahaha

Giggles,  Jerry – your bubbling humour lately has me giggling a lot – it must be your relief at the meeting with Nick working out so well, after weeks of anxiety, that has let out the humour that would otherwise have surfaced during the anxioius weeks!

I knew you would understand, Bruce!  It is like taking out bricks of the foundation of a house that is already built, without taking every small detail into consideration!  Smiles.
