Jared,

It is so good to finally read a post from you. I am glad to hear that things are coming together nicely for you.

(I was not as fortunately endowed as you are to even consider the porn star thing!) Maybe as this year has seen many different opportunities and adventures come into my life, I will find the time and the energy to start more earnestly on the writing.

Take care my friend!

Maybe if I am really motivated I can find a way to do all 3.....AT THE SAME TIME
