this and that of 11011

Did you notice that today's date is a palindrome: 11011
Thought someone besides me would get a kick out of it too ... and tomorrow it is 1-11-11 :)
Yeah - I am easily amused!

Well, the concept of "perfection" has been on my mind today. I asked a co-worker why he won't propose to his girl-friend whom he loves and knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with! He said, he needs to "gel all my ducks in a row". I said, "you mean you are looking for perfection and whats crazy, you think you have that kind of control over circumstances. What is to say that when things are perfect for you, they would be perfect for her too!"

I may not have convinced him but I got him thinking... Besides, I have no affinity or tolerance for perfection. I think you may like someone/something for whatever reasons but you stay in a certain situation once you make peace with the imperfections.

An old proverb I found online, seems to agree with me: A beautiful thing is never perfect!
