    NB>> Sounds like it's time to get reading again...  :)  At least a little...   
    NB>> to nibble away at the pile...  :)   
    DAG> It definitely is.  I've got another book waiting for me at the   
    DAG> library again now, too.  I'm getting ready to do some in just a little   
    DAG> bit here.  :)    
      
   Good for you.  :)   
      
    NB>> He'll be ok...  :)  He's in a position now to be able to learn the more   
    NB>> normal things that might have gone by the wayside before... :)   
    DAG> Absolutely.  He may've been exposed to a bit more than I would like   
    DAG> him to have been, but he's wicked smart because of it.  In a lot of   
    DAG> ways I wish that I would've gotten some of the experience that he has   
    DAG> already; would've saved me a world of hurt.  Though, of course, there   
    DAG> will be blindspots I missed that will broadside both him and myself.  I   
    DAG> don't think parenting comes without that, usually.  Tell me if I'm   
    DAG> wrong, though; I'd love to be able to do a perfect job.   
      
   Always blindspots one misses... hopefully they don't broadside... ;)    
   You'll not do a perfect job, no one can, but you'll probably do a quite   
   passable one..  :)  It's the most any of us can hope for...  and no   
   matter how close to perfect a job one does, it's still no guarantee that   
   the kid turns out as we hope... but sometimes they turn out far better   
   than we hope, too...  :)   
      
    NB>> And did that work...?   ;)  Sounds like a worthy project, and not too   
    NB>> likely to be a disappointment...  :)   
    DAG> Wait wut.  Was that about the reading?   
      
   I think that was about reading your mom's manuscript...  :)   
       
    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... ;)   
    NB>> It's a fallen world... not what it should be.... nor how originally God   
    NB>> intended it to be...   
      
    DAG> Wait a second...  Is that some tongue in cheek there?  ;)   
      
   Not really... just the way I keep things in perspective...  the first   
   bit, though, is a bit tongue in cheek, sorta...  :)   
      
   ttyl          neb   
      
   ... I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart.
