"A
TOUGH lesson in life is not everybody wishes you well." -
Dan Rather
"TUMBLE BLOCKS" is about: the "rough & ready"; the Timex watch that takes a lick'en and keeps on tick-en; the Die-Hard battery, and the stubborn old mule. It is about determination, fortitude, strong-will, tenacity, lot's of energy and all that which represents the relentless human-will of one or another.
Whether determined by nature or nurture - or a combination of the two - this characteristic or personality is not altogether understood or fully appreciated; especially, when this will is being so willful against another again (and again). Yes, relentless and indomitable, the human will that does not understand "no" or "can't do" or anything counter to its momentary or continual pursuit can give defiance a bad name - and raise determination to the third degree.
You know the type; and should you have the misfortune of serving them - because they will not serve anyone else - than you can only hope that time and temperature will cool their jets - or their endless supply of energy and sheer human will. With the general description of the strong human-will comes some likely hope of understanding them.
