Mitch, thank you for giving us such a bounty of positive reminders of how our imagination can push past the impossible. I vividly remember walking out of the theatre after seeing the opening of Rocky. We were all throwing our arms up in the air in the now iconic Rocky signal for triumph through overwhelming odds. We felt power and possibilities. It's still a powerful image of internal strength. Thanks for feeding the dreamers the positive images we need to persevere.
