The Problem with Perfection

It's been just under a year since my last post. This is for no apparent good reason. Essentially it has been quite a year. Frankly, there's no more time for perfection so this post is being written as I think. Kinda like in Finding Forrester (for those of you who appreciate or know that movie)
