I even posted a link from mine!<BR/><BR/>BTW, now that Memorial Day is past and the Suns are no longer in the championship run, the humor on my blog, which had been hiding underneath the couch quivering in fear of the wild brunette in the Steve Nash tank, is back. Hope to see you around!<BR/><BR/>And I'm looking forward to swilling scotch with you and Barry at Thrillerfest.

One magic aspect of writing is that, with work, some of that 10% shit can be moved over to the gold category (or bronze, at least).

On the other hand, I would settle for 10% of what I write to be gold. Yes, I think I could be satisfied, and wealthy if 10% gleened green. There, that counts for telling the truth at least once today.<BR/><BR/>DreadBeneath the Carolina Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378676354922370500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897529.post-1149900704270992152006-06-09T20:51:00.000-04:002006-06-09T20:51:00.000-04:00Because kids are the only ones with enough idealis...Because kids are the only ones with enough idealism/stupidity (take your pick) to do it.JD Rhoadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123361739160525998noreply@blogger.com
