Wow, Wow. You're really welcome. Given the experiences of my life, to hear myself described as "human" or "lived in"...well, it's the kind of compliment only the unworthy can really relish. The image which leaps most readily to mind is the sceen from "The Wizard of Oz" when the Professor hands out the the brains, the courage, and the heart to the Scarecrow, the Lion, and the Tin-Man.

I wouldn't try to analogize further becuase we all care those three within us. The only thing it's really important to remember is:

"there's no place like home"
