     I trust that by now you have received a small deluge of messages that were   
   queued up while Rob Starr's system was down.  :)  I feel like I'm playing UNO   
   or Skip-Bo here and just dumped a whole load of cards on you.  Heh.  With the   
   slam of messages that I got when you returned prior to that, it almost seems   
   like a game of trying to bury one's opponent at times.  ;)

    NB> it's a good thing that the kids did get together and had a great time...   
    NB> And yes, facilitating their being able to get together at your place is   
    NB> also a good idea... :)  Hopefully the mom will indeed grow past this

     Oopthieoopth.  Yeah I'm definitely working on getting things to the point   
   where they'll be able to hang out here again, as well, and more often.    
   Actually Deschain has recently requested his first serious extra-curricular   
   activity, too, and I'm pretty sure I can manage the fee on that at this point,   
   so hopefully things run well for that, also.   
     The mom has my best wishes, for sure.  I'm wary of the situation that she's   
   in, and the different things that she's doing (some of which are trickling out   
   in her son's behavior-- much like my own son's reflect my own), but I'm also   
   rooting for the best for her.  I can only remember my own misery when I was in   
   a comparable situation; and some people can actually run their lives like that,   
   I have to remember.  I'm special with my weakness.  ;)    
      
    DAG>> need to finish that book...  *laugh*   
    NB> Crazy life... ;)   
      
     At least one thing has remained constant through all of it, right?  ;)   
      
    NB> Chipping away works... ;)  Keeping a flow in the echo is part of the   
    NB> scheme, after all... ;)   
      
     Indeed.  I'm going to try to keep a little bit better tabs on things from   
   here on out.  Got some evil withdrawing of work hours going on again, so I've   
   got some more time to manage that, at least.
