Boy, I sure wish I could get to Cleveland for their next stereo club
"shootout".  It sounds like George and Mark are going to meet at high
noon, take ten paces and come out "shooting".  

I look forward to hearing the results from both contestants!

As for serenity, I like this article...

"The Meaning of Peace"
There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint
the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all
the pictures, but there were only two he really liked, and he had to
choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for the
peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with
fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a
perfect picture of peace.

The second picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare.
Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightening
played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This
did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind
the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a
mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry
water, sat the mother bird on her nest.... a picture of a perfect
peace.  Which of the pictures won the prize? The King chose the second
picture. Do you know why?

"Because," explained the King, "peace does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means to be in the
midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the
real meaning of peace."
