I'll use that too, then, Chuck.

I want to run all over town and re-paint everything I've ever done, but my business manager and better half says that it's not allowed. She also makes the point that if someone loves something I painted and can now surpass, who am I to question it--that what makes it special to them may be lost in applying the new tecnique. And she makes the additional point that it betrays a lack of confidence and undercuts how accomplished the universe thinks I am. So I try to smile and keep my mouth shut.

My creditors don't particularly like my going back and re-working past attempts for free, either.

Also, when I think about it, I'm more afraid of the question: "What if I DON'T improve?"

Best--TE
