words are part of the vocabulary of most infants and familiar to us
all. When things go wrong, simply say "Gaa Gaa," remembering that
it's an acronym for "go around again, go around again." The

back off, and take a second run at it.


Chuckle.

To which I would add the safe driving slogan: "Leave yourself an out",
so that you have time and space to "go around again". Easier said
than done of course, but a good concept to be thinking about.

Good article(s). I think I see a book coming.
