Randy, those are some long answers. How do you stretch your answer so far? I keep my very short. But you inspire me. I think my replies should be 5 sentences long. Do you think that is OK? When I read the Q & A then I was amazed. When I heard I was supposed to make this post I got straight to work. We tried to talk to Mr. Fisher but it did not work. sadly we had a computer malfunction. So we will have to do it some other day.
Hi Michael!
This is a good post and quite a nice tribute to Randy. You made some interesting points. Sometimes I write short posts and sometimes they are long. I usually don't think about a number of sentences.
You are doing some good thinking! Keep it up! Have you been thinking more about your project? Share your ideas.

Hi Michael,
I really enjoyed reading this post. Your choice of words really helped keep my focus, especially the word tribute in your title, and how you expressed your feelings with amazed and inspired. I liked "computer malfunction". It is such a nice, calm way to explain a disappointing situation; I used to call it "technology gremlins" when technology failed us.
Were there specific words in Randy's answers that inspired you?
Best,
Lani

look at the swim across part. When people rush they make mistakes. If a ultra gullible person reads that he will do it.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for reading so carefully and finding the part about swimming. Do you think that you could make that swim? :-)
