Excuse me Trevor, are you perhaps mocking me?
My life has been a series of downfalls. As a youngster my father would yell "quite being a smart aleck", and I'd ask "what's a smart aleck"? During college I developed a life-threatening allergy to dial…

Thanks for participating in the on-line discussion of Langri Thangpa's "Eight Verses for Training the Mind". We're closing this discussion with a summary, and I invite you to post your thoughts.

- Rob,
We must have crossed paths sometime! I lived in Point Breeze near Penn Avenue from 1990 to 2003. My wife, Kathi Pajer, MD, and I were both WPIC faculty (I am a psychologist). We now live in Columbus and teach at OSU, but we're frequently in PGH.
cheers
Bill
