Kendall, thanks. The thinking part works ok, it's the doing part I have problems with.

It's funny how some people have a handle on the nerves or fear right from the start. Clinton's never been scared. We have a young man her who performed at the All-Ireland Fleadh when he was (I think) 15. I tried to offer him sympathy about the nervousness I was sure he felt beforehand. Said he "I've never felt nervous." Oy.

I wonder why some of us can occasionally be scared to death, and others never even get nervous.
