Thinking, thinking. Always thinking.

I had a fun game of tennis this morning. But the conversation after kicked the thinking gear into high. And while not directly related to the conversation on the drive home my mind would not let this topic go; how do you impose your will on another person? Or more specifically, how do you get another person to do what you want when it isn't really what they want?
(Rasputin, not Rowdputin)
And not just the brutish or obvious ways, but the more subtle ways. Consciously manipulating another person. How do you do that? 'Cause I don't think I know this.

Secondly, the idea of retiring to Vietnam has gained real traction in my mind.

Finally, I am upgrading to the latest GoPro camera and really need to think of some good 'action' to film. Self filmed. Any action ideas for Rowdy readers?
