LOL.

As I've told plenty of counseling clients . . . either I've done it, my relatives have done it, our low paying renters have done it or my clients have done it or it probably hasn't been done. So they may as well lay aside their self-consciousness or hollow pride and let us get on with sorting out a better life for them and those close to them.

Oddly, I have declined to ride both a camel and an elephant. Usually I enjoy novel experiences.

But I think in both cases, I was more focused on relationships at the moment in those settings. That's no surprise. Besides, it was hot and I didn't really feel all that attracted both days [decades apart]--I didn't feel that attracted working up a sweat riding a sweaty smelly animal when air conditioning and good conversation were available elsewhere.

And the camel looked like he was eager to take a bite out of a foreigner or at least spit at one. And I didn't wish to be the target in either case.
