Hi Jerrie, ..... Yes indeed, we are all sooooo different! It would be really cool if we could say that we are RIGHT HERE (at a single point) on that matrix, but the truth of the matter is, we all tend to jump all over the map during the course of a few days. In the human condition, nothing is ever simple, I guess. .... I'm glad that picture has meaning for you. It's meant a lot to me too. In my early days (circa 1950's) nobody had the slightest clue about the existence of that iceberg. And as a result, fluency work was almost totally directed at the top of that iceberg. Been there, done that, didn't work for me at all! .... I wonder if the captain of the Titanic stuttered? It certainly didn't work for him either! Ha, ha, ha! ..... Are you going to be in Long Beach next summer? I hope so! Check out www.WeStutter.org for more information. .... Thanks for your comments. ..... Russ
