In David DuChemin's
pixelatedimage:blog today, he used a phrase that I often use but have never written about - "having a teachable spirit". Coincidentally, there was an incident last night about being teachable on the TV show - "Dancing With the Stars". My wife was watching and I was playing "Photoshop gopher". You know, that's when you're hunkered down on the couch with Photoshop, you lift your eyes about 1/4 inch above the lid of your Macbook and, while keeping your head stationary, sweep your eyes quickly to-and-fro over the horizon. Then, seeing that all is safe, you pop your head back down again. You do this whenever you hear a sound that catches your attention ... especially if it is something that sounds like, "ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!?!!"
