Thank you, Mary Ann. What does an analogy portend? It appears to be a cognitive bridge that maps the unknown to the known. Does it allow us to translate abstract terms or ideas into relatable models or concepts for more straightforward interpretation? Not meaning to make it complex. But, I ask myself, can we ever see without analogy? Or is our entire perception an endless chain of comparisons, one meaning tied to another forever? Or does it depend on our evolutionary progress that we are yet to realize? I know I am always seeking opinions. Thank you.
Thank you, and thanks to Ed for acting as a kind facilitator. It is as if there is a whole Rigatoni society, huh? Analogies and metaphors notwithstanding, we all pine for nostalgia and the days of comfort and tradition we were raised under. The good old days of yonder, as the sayings go, and what else is there other than love? As we age and lose loved ones, the past becomes more important than the future, but most of us still have time to "pay forward" our good fortune, giving back to those less fortunate. May we all have the energy and will to be enabled to pass on what we learned and earned before life puts us on our rears. Thank you for listening.
Thank you all for "listening." Ed is such a prolific writer that it is a challenge to keep up with every week. I, for one, engage episodically, triggered often by Ed's Pollyannish memories. However, I tend to be tempted by Cassandra's dark side, and January is of particular significance, filled with personal events commencing with losses of WW II, memorialized every year. So, I am grateful to now live among the people of the smallest state in the Union, surrounded by a pastoral lushness.
I enjoyed Werner’s comments.

I see Rigitoni Socities in every county.
Thanks, Werner. Good idea
