Default Heart of Gold vs. Cut the Mustard

Regardless of what was said about ownership of CTM, Wilbur has owned up -
after several years - to being both Neal and Greg Hall, as most expected.

He's staying in Wilbur's character, with only occasional forays into this
space from Greg.

Personally, I wish he'd drop them both and come back as Neal, as he's at
least as entertaining, sarcastic, witty, and erudite (not always correctly,
mind you, but at least voluble!) as his other characters in his original.

He made a brief appearance after a few years' absence, about 4-5 years ago,
and had the expected abrasive introduction. I characterized/compared him
with Jax Ashby, who I sincerely hope has realized his dream and is cruising
full time, wherein one could find nuggets of gold among the dross, but not
to get upset or take the rest too seriously.

Jax had Bob ("boob" - infrequently seen in these parts, lately)'s ascerbic
nature, exponentially, whereas Neal's is just for fun :{))

Skip, still on the hard, getting moved to a new slot (we hope, today, cuz it
looks like rain, and we wouldn't lose any exterior work time) to let our
astern neighbor out and splashed.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other
people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinion drown out your own inner voice;
and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary".
