   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.
