Avoiding the downside
I did not go to the Fest yesterday, the reason is simple, Tin needed a day off and a good nap. Everyone and their mother said wake him up and get him out here. But I didn’t. And so the Fest came to me, like a magnet, I walked out on the porch and suddenly, one came then another then another. Happy LaLa Fest.
Tin was woken up by his two gal pals – Mignon and Calai (that he pronounces Kell Lay) and how delighted was he? So he put on a show for them with his imaginary trombone. I can see it very clearly now, pretty girls, a bone in hand, oh my – watch out, it’s Superman.
It is a human tendency to avoid downside, to sidestep risk, to take the path of least resistance, but I must say that the many times I’ve said yes and the many times I’ve said no have usually yielded the same conclusion for me – I did it my way and it proved to be the right way.
