Boy I'm glad that your pigeons recognize and accept that you imperfect.  I 
wish that some of mine did.  I had to tell one of my sponsees not to place 
unrealisitc expectations on me.  But I was also nice enough to tell him why.  
I told him if he places an expectation on me, I will try to not only live up 
to it but surpass it.  I'm a perfectionist, I go to extremes, and I have yet 
to find middle ground and accept that my best is fine.  After I told him this 
he said but your so knowledgeable and you always have the right answer and Ad 
Nauseum.....I said I may have some of the answers some of the time, but I 
often times lack the common sense to practice knowledge with Wisdom.  I rely 
on others to teach me how to do that.  This burst his bubble.  But he's still 
one of my sponsees and he's doing a lot better at becoming self sufficient 
becuase of it.  So I gotta be doing something right.

I'm perfectly imperfect, and that is fine.
