How much of the following quote is actually true, Old Brucie?
*It may just give me a reputation I'd have to live up to, and then where would I be? No, laziness has its advantages, not the least among them being the low expectations of others. I'm kind of like the Toronto Maple Leafs of boring guys: the world expects nothing of me, and they get it.*
It seems to me I mentioned this very topic when I suggested that I thought you would not want to become sighted (assuming you would not lose the powers you believe you would lose as a result) because then the world would expect so much of you because you are indeed a brilliant guy. As it is, everything you do is ridiculously over and above most people's expectations of a blind guy. There must be a good deal of satisfaction in this that you might think you would lose if you were thrown into that pot with everyone else. Yes, no?
