    NB>> Probably wouldn't hurt... ;)  I never stopped reading for pleasure,   
    NB>> but I just can't read for as long or as fast... especially when my   
    NB>> eyes get tired...   
    DAG> Yeah to be honest I completely forgot about working on trying to get   
    DAG> into that habit again after the first night.  Which sucks, because I've   
    DAG> got a few library books here, that manuscript from my mom, and a few   
    DAG> others on a queue that I can't dissuade my roommate from putting   
    DAG> together for me.    
      
   Sounds like it's time to get reading again...  :)  At least a little...   
   to nibble away at the pile...  :)   
      
    NB>> He's had a bit more in-your-face experience on learning that than my   
    NB>> son had at that age, I'd guess...  :)   
    DAG> He's had a lot of it.  The kid is ahead of his time, but I think we   
    DAG> all know some of the losses that all too often accompany that.   
      
   He'll be ok...  :)  He's in a position now to be able to learn the more   
   normal things that might have gone by the wayside before... :)   
       
    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... :)   
    DAG> It was that first night.  Then the manuscript disappeared into the   
    DAG> disorganization here.  I'm gonna try to get another shot at it tonight   
    DAG> after I finish up this email and make sure that it's laying out   
    DAG> somewhere where I can see it before I crash out tonight.  ;)   
      
   And did that work...?   ;)  Sounds like a worthy project, and not too   
   likely to be a disappointment...  :)   
       
    NB>> One can start a religous war over just about anything... ;)  And   
    NB>> there are a lot of different thought systems to (try to) explain   
    NB>> the universe... ;)   
    DAG> It's a damn shame people can't just find the ones that help them to   
    DAG> be the best, most peaceful and accepting people that they can, and stop   
    DAG> giving a crap about the systems that are working for each other.  ;)    
    DAG> My own belief system is that a lot of those systems are used for   
    DAG> manipulation too much for that to be possible, but a man can dream.    
    DAG> Soooo much wasted on warfare that we could feed the world HOW many   
    DAG> times over?    
      
   It's a fallen world... not what it should be.... nor how originally God   
   intended it to be...   
      
   ttyl       neb   
      
   ... The joy in pursuing trout is they live in such beautiful places!
