Dear Mr. Lawler,

I believe the following site lists some of the wisest "Life Practices"
we, as a community, have seen in a long time:
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyDiscussions

Some of the practices described in that site have proved to be useful
in our Lives: http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RealWorldRuby

The catchphrase which summarizes most of the Life Practices you will
find here represents the very first step of this Line of Thought:

"If one hears it talk, one wants to only program immediately in Ruby"

Looking forward to seeing the result of your Best Life Practices
research, I am

Yours truly
