It is not often that I meet someone whose thinking aligns with mine in nearly every respect across a broad spectrum of topics. Is this because I have so many opinions which are out of the mainstream, or is it just because I have so many opinions? Whichever the case, I've known for sometime that Stephen Douglas, who authors Undeception, a blog site I highly recommend, fits that bill. (In those times when you want to know what Cliff thinks, and I'm not offering enough for you here, you can safely go to Stephen's site; chances are about 98% that you will learn more about me!)Stephen lives in Georgia, where I happen to be for business. Today he and I met (face to face for the first time) in Macon for lunch (authentic Southern Cuisine, if that be not an oxymoron) and a delightful three hour visit. Here is my public "thank you" to Stephen for breaking away from his doctoral studies and his family to carve out those hours! It was like a breath of fresh air. Thank you, Stephen.
(Just kidding about the Southern Cuisine. I've been loving it!)

Thanks, Cliff -- it was the most thoroughly enjoying chat I've had in recent memory. It truly is remarkable how similar our trajectories are, especially given that we're from opposite corners of the country!
For what it's worth, maybe I'm just spoiled by my wife's and mother's great cooking, but I wasn't particularly impressed with our "cuisine", either. It could also be that I wasn't thinking too much about it, the company and conversation being so stimulating. :-)
Cliff- I wanted to leave a quick comment thanking you immensely for taking the time to read my blog. I will reply more there...
