Boomer. What does hubris mean?
Boom, in my mind you are a combination of Mother Teresa, Mary Poppins and that woman on television that knows about finances. I can't think of her name.
But the best part is that you are a Cincinnati girl. BUT are you EAST or WEST of 75?

Oh Gracie, about that hubris thing, that having excessive pride or confidence. It'll get me every time. I was way too proud of the first post I wrote. I thought it was oh so perfect. I would cast calm upon the waters with it. Everyone would be overwhelmed by its magnificence. The sun would shine and the birdies would sing. And I would somehow be looking just like Grace Kelly as I bestowed my words upon TOTVland.
And so I was punished by the
timing out and losing it all -- forever.
Remember those stories from mythology? Like the one about the guy who flew too close to the sun and he crashed and burned. In those old stories, if those mortals got carried away with their own wonderfulness, (Is that a word?) they always fell and fell hard. I was thinking my first post was so wonderful. I was guilty of hubris. Ah. . .for one brief, shining moment. . . in my mind.

(Uh, I thought I did BOOM. Well, sort of. Just a little BOOM, maybe. Oh well.)
