Some years ago, as I began to have whiff of my mortality, I began actively to do triage on time, whatever time remained for me, unknown of course, but with a then distant view of the clubhouse, as I was well into the 'back nine.' Part of my approach meant jettisoning various time and labour intensive activities. I gave up playing golf, or rather playing at golf, and also stopped taking guitar lessons, from one of the master guitarists in the world, who played as a studio musician for Santana. With so much additional time, but never enough, I turned my attention to reading and studying various works. At this point, hurry as I might, and as ravenous as I am, I recall Rabbi Jonathan Sacks OBM's comment, that we all have a promised land we'll never reach! Wishing all continued success in this endeavour. Arn Rubenstein
What an amazing story, Arnold. Thank you for the supportive words. Lessons from a Santana studio musician...not sure I could have given that up! Blessings, Elliott.
