jbmomg, you know how you have good days and bad days? T's have them too. T's aren't the same all the time, just like we're not the same all the time. They're just people, plain and simple. Sometimes they are "with it" and sometimes they're not. It sounds like your T has woken up and now he's more "there with you." There's an ebb and a flow to that, but to some degree, now that he's connecting with you, he's going to keep those insights. I'm glad to hear your T seems "with it" lately -- that's great!
