mistakes

["David" <vze2ncsr@verizon.net>]

I agree -- so called "mistakes" are really often just "choices" we would 
not
have thought of making -- and as such, they are gifts and openings into
something new.  How we respond to the new opening is then another 
choice....
:-)

And other times mistakes just sound awful!  But rarely is that the case/
