Thanks.

What has struck me so far in my (albeit shortish) like is the
commonality of the human experience. Everyone is seeking something
different, but as you point out, everyone is seeking something.

This came up in the nomikai last night, when I said something along
the lines of "my whole life has been rediscovering what other people
already found out". :)

We talked about this at the nomikai as well, and the realisation was
made that while my auctioneering technique is pretty good, Keith gets
more money for stuff.

So next time, I will be the auctioneer, and he will be my lovely
assistant, showing off the goods and trying to drive prices up. :)
