We have to keep bugging people (some call it the 'nudge') and not give up in the gentle bugging to do what's right or fix things.

Word of the moment: Camelot
It is our task to find the Camelot moments; those times when the sky opens briefly, the sun shines for a few moments, then it closes again.
The Obama or Kennedy presidency. A comfortable productive job or class or relationship. They don't happen often and when they do, it's all good, but it is our chore to make them in our world, or find them.

Interference
Interference is a great word with many meanings and shades.
Interference can mean the addition of noise to a signal. However, noise can be meaningful to a different signal, so interference can mean a different signal is interfering. Or it can mean there is no other signal, it's just noise.
It can mean that another person is interfering with your work.
In football, the runner or catcher can be interfered with. He is the signal, and the opposing player who is charged with the 'foul' is the noise.
Or perhaps your signal is your pleasure, and someone is interfering with that! (talking about the 'foul').
