Twice a day for six days, then at your discretion.

That’s the number of “Thank You” utterances.

Whether this is the recommended frequency, the bare minimum for the survival of the human race or part of a fitness and wellness program remains a mystery.

And, it may seem unimportant compared to the forthcoming return to the screen of programs such as Game of Thrones, Northern Exposure or Magnum P.I.

But, what if it is the key to everything? The master key?

“You can lead with that” she said.

I didn’t know whether she meant the horse and the reins, or the extraordinary words I had just used to describe politicians and their psychology.

Some films lead (!) us to the same type of confusion, or at the very least a bit of pondering, by failing to express an opinion.

It’s high time we invented the next thing. Big or small.

We did dare and we did share and all the rest.

So the plate was full, the tasks swiftly accomplished and a walk through the Forest of Dreams brushed off as well.

This tale was told to and by generations of the The Dwellers, as they were so aptly known.

The best known Dweller became the inventor of everything we remember and the leader of the artist-warriors.
