     Yeah to be honest I completely forgot about working on trying to get into   
   that habit again after the first night.  Which sucks, because I've got a few   
   library books here, that manuscript from my mom, and a few others on a queue   
   that I can't dissuade my roommate from putting together for me.   
      
    NB> He's had a bit more in-your-face experience on learning that than my son   
    NB> had at that age, I'd guess...  :)     
      
     He's had a lot of it.  The kid is ahead of his time, but I think we all know   
   some of the losses that all too often accompany that.   
      
    DAG>> 20 pages a night until I'm done.  So far the writing is pretty   
    DAG>> friggin' good.  Reminds me a little bit of Peter Straub.   
    NB> Sounds promising... :)   
      
     It was that first night.  Then the manuscript disappeared into the   
   disorganization here.  I'm gonna try to get another shot at it tonight after I   
   finish up this email and make sure that it's laying out somewhere where I can   
   see it before I crash out tonight.  ;)   
      
    DAG>> Yeah...  Well the paperwork is coming to us separately now, so I'm   
    DAG>> not going to be losing money like that again.   
    NB> That sounds better.  :)   
      
     Burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me...  Basically what my   
   tattoo about relationships says, though its third clause makes the pyre   
   optional.    
      
    NB> One can start a religous war over just about anything... ;)  And there   
    NB> are a lot of different thought systems to (try to) explain the

     It's a damn shame people can't just find the ones that help them to be the   
   best, most peaceful and accepting people that they can, and stop giving a crap   
   about the systems that are working for each other.  ;)  My own belief system is   
   that a lot of those systems are used for manipulation too much for that to be   
   possible, but a man can dream.  Soooo much wasted on warfare that we could feed   
   the world HOW many times over?
