note to self <grin>: do not click edit, select all text, cut, write "oops" or something, go back to the main page, then this folder, then click reply, paste what I cut, and post it again unless I'm doubly sure that I was in the wrong folder in the first place. That actually did make me laugh at myself, which is a good thing (note on refrigerator: you already had three beers, stupid! just kidding, about the note anyway). I drink Keystone Ice usually, but not everyday and normally not enough to get myself plastered. About the smoking, yeah... it's a bad habit (as my daughter constantly reminds me), but I enjoy it. Good for you that you quit. Then again, it's easy to quit: heck, I've done it dozens of times <g>.
I just read that post here by 'Daze', and your response (very thoughtful) and I agree with you that he/she should stick around. The post made sense to me: I'd be glad to hear more from Daze. Daze, if you're reading this: welcome to cyber-dysfunction. Stick around, we're not snobs.
I'm going to wait, John, until I hear your response to the post that started out with talk about our ancestry (John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Simon Lord Lovat) before I continue that conversation thread.
BTW, Denver's a great place: I lived there for about a year and a half back in '85 and '86 (one cold winter though).
Documentaries? If you haven't seen "Capitalism: A Love Story", I'd definitely recommend it. Michael Moore is something else. I watched it a couple of days ago, on DVD of course, so that I could replay what I was forgetting... it probably took me three hours to take the whole thing in. That's the good thing about my memory problem: if I repeat something, or rethink something, enough, I do remember it (sometimes I remember it the first time; it's hard to predict). Also, if something dramatic or emotional happens, it always sticks. As I said, I'm not a total amnesiac (that would be hell, I think), so I have that to be grateful for.
Sleep well now.
