But oil money so good... hehehe, sorry couldn't help it- I live in Alaska, where the oil makes the state go-round. Glad to see you're still alive, me friend. Take care, Stephan
He,he,he! Hello Stephan! ^_^ Sorry to pick on oil, even if only in the metaphoric sense (indeed, I do most appreciate all of the things your Alaskan oil allows me to do...such as type this message on my plastic key-board and not worry about the lights going out or my car starting in the morning, etc., etc. :-) but oil just fit so nicely in my haphazard metaphor-thingy...ya...it wasn't pretty but had to get it out. My usual value system needed to be split into "my" value system which I balance my life by, and the "professional" value system, which is still a part of "my" value system but different enough to (hopefully) (1) help me leave work at work with my career, (2) avoid becoming a vigilante and (3) minimize the risk of becoming the monster I'm setting out to slay...or if not "slay" then at least clip it's claws, file down its teeth and give it a swift kick in the family jewels for good measure. :-) I'm very glad that life is treating you and yours well, as a little bird (a "swallow" to be precise :-) has been stalking you on my
