 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.
