"''ALL the world's a STAGE'.'"

… --William Shakespeare

(… Continued:)   (MY "side-notes" are in PARENTHESES … and BOLD.)

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;  
(… "DoN'T HATE the PLAYUH.  HATE the GAME."  … I WISH I COULD consider MYSELF a "PLAYUH" … in the LITERAL-sense, … 'cuz my disabilities kinda LIMIT my ATHLETIC-output.)

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts,

(… I "wear MANY hats": Minnesotan, Turk,

 MATHEMATICAL-aficionado, Wrestler, TUTOR, "Martial 

arts"-INSTRUCTOR, NERD, Socialite, Handicap, Sports-

FANATIC)

His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,

Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.

Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel

And shining morning face, creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,

Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon lined,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts

Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,

With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;

His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide

For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

That ends this strange eventful history,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion,

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."

… 
So, I watched snippets of 'The Truman Show'.  

(… GREAT film!)         

It REALLY got me THINKING:

-- IS there … a "SUPREME Creator"?!

-- … If SO, "HOW UP & DOWN"/UN-funny is MY "LIFE-story"?!

-- Is my "FATE" ALREADY PRE-determined, … or CAN I alter/IMPROVE … MYSELF?!
-- (British accent:) "CAN I 'change mi stahs'?"(--YOUNG William Thatcher, ''A Knight's Tale'')

… 
I had a very ENCOURAGING "UPPER body"-workout--as USUAL.  
The COMBINATION of HIS MANY STRENGTHENING-exercises AND "NeuroFit 360"'s STRETCHING has REALLY INCREASED my "RANGE of MOTION"

… 
I had yet ANOTHER PRODUCTIVE "NeuralPsychoTherapy-meeting this afternoon. 
During the session, I "listed" my (EVENTUAL/LONGTERM-) GOALS:
-- (UN-assisted WALKING
-- (COGENT) TALKING
-- NO "peg-TUBE"
-- MARRIAGE 
-- (MAYBE) MASTER's degree
