 NB>> Probably wouldn't hurt... ;)  I never stopped reading for pleasure,
 NB>> but I just can't read for as long or as fast... especially when my
 NB>> eyes get tired...
 DAG> Yeah to be honest I completely forgot about working on trying to get
 DAG> into that habit again after the first night.  Which sucks, because I've
 DAG> got a few library books here, that manuscript from my mom, and a few
 DAG> others on a queue that I can't dissuade my roommate from putting
 DAG> together for me. 

Sounds like it's time to get reading again...  :)  At least a little...
to nibble away at the pile...  :)

 NB>> He's had a bit more in-your-face experience on learning that than my
 NB>> son had at that age, I'd guess...  :)
 DAG> He's had a lot of it.  The kid is ahead of his time, but I think we
 DAG> all know some of the losses that all too often accompany that.

He'll be ok...  :)  He's in a position now to be able to learn the more
normal things that might have gone by the wayside before... :)
 
 DAG>> 20 pages a night until I'm done.  So far the writing is pretty
 DAG>> friggin' good.  Reminds me a little bit of Peter Straub.
 NB>> Sounds promising... :)
 DAG> It was that first night.  Then the manuscript disappeared into the
 DAG> disorganization here.  I'm gonna try to get another shot at it tonight
 DAG> after I finish up this email and make sure that it's laying out
 DAG> somewhere where I can see it before I crash out tonight.  ;)

And did that work...?   ;)  Sounds like a worthy project, and not too
likely to be a disappointment...  :)
 
 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... ;)
 DAG> It's a damn shame people can't just find the ones that help them to
 DAG> be the best, most peaceful and accepting people that they can, and stop
 DAG> giving a crap about the systems that are working for each other.  ;) 
 DAG> My own belief system is that a lot of those systems are used for
 DAG> manipulation too much for that to be possible, but a man can dream. 
 DAG> Soooo much wasted on warfare that we could feed the world HOW many
 DAG> times over? 

It's a fallen world... not what it should be.... nor how originally God
intended it to be...
