Hey Knot.... sounds like you ARE stressin' a little.
Not at all!! I consider myself one of the lucky ones, as I rarely get all that excited or disappointed no matter what happens. It allows me to roll with the punches and just take life as it comes. Hence the reason I seldom stress out about anything and the reason I like the idea of calling my boat "Knot Stressin' " If having a boat\or being out on the boat stresses me out, then theres not much point of owning one. Is there?
It even drives my wife nuts sometimes because she just tends to worry about all sorts of things. I try to focus my efforts where I can make a difference and not worry so much about the things that are outta my control. Like.....how all the idiots in my state voted.
I voted, because I realize its important to do so, but there is only so much I can do about the way other people vote. I tend to not even engage in political discussion that is going absolutely now where. Its a worthy topic of conversation, but only if the content is fruitful. Too many times, there is such grid lock that neither party is willing to even listen to the other side let alone consider that the other side has a point. And that their point may be closer to the truth than some long time preconceived notions or lies that some people refuse to let go of.
