'You on the road' does imply the traveler (for me).

Or 'You walking the road, there is no road'

But 'Traveler there is no road' is still evocative/moving even though no echoing.

It's beautiful Andrew. I have the same good luck.

If this book helps you understand why you might want to live in NYC, one of her later books, Noches Sin Dormir (Sleepless nights), helps you understand why you might not.

I'm going to break the rules and say something about this book. It's a beautiful and funny book by a contemporary Spanish author I admire. Here, she writes about a time when she lived in NYC. It gives you a feeling for New York that wouldn't be possible without the fresh eyes she brings to it.

Really, that's amazing!

So figures and text are both for educating. It's not enough for them to be correct if they doesn't communicate effectively.

I think it's helpful to remember that the goal is always to educate. Whether it's students or grant reviewers, you're not trying to impress but to educate those who don't have your level of expertise in the particular topic at hand.

Someone wrote that there's universality in the particular when it comes to writing. Maybe for art too.

I wouldn't worry about being an intrusive parent. He knows you love him, and the long-term benefits seem very much worth it.

games that give them reinforcement on a second-by-second basis. But the longer the delay between action and reward, the more the reward effectiveness drops off. This is true for everyone, but the drop is much much steeper with ADHD. Good luck!

That all sounds absolutely great, Ramsey. Just in case the weekly checkins don't remain effective -- although i think they might! -- you might also think of ways to give positive reinforcement even more often. Like you know, people with ADHD have no problem with Playstation
