My Qualifications

You may be wondering what qualifies me to write this stuff.

Nothing.  I don't know anything.

But I've done time in the trenches.  I got tired of it and I found some relief.  Thought I'd pass it along.  Somebody might find some of it useful.

I don't think I've left any mistakes unmade.  I've made most of them multiple times.  And then some.

"[W]hen one of you falls down he falls for those behind him, a caution against the stumbling stone.
Ay, and he falls for those ahead of him, who though faster and surer of foot, yet removed not the stumbling stone."  (--Kahlil Gibran from The Prophet)

I have stumbled.  This is my attempt to remove some of the stones.
