Hey Tyler, thanks for you very eloquent thoughts on the current state of affairs, it is honest, true and said things that I think many people feel but are afraid to express, for whatever reason. I don't even know if I'll be leaving NM as the rescue efforts seem to be discouraging extra able bodies unless they are specifically trained for such matters, which is understandable. Personally, I am supporting local efforts here at our food bank which needs folks to help package and sort thru food to be sent to the Gulf, and with the Red Cross, to the extent that I can. It is heartbreaking to know fellow Americans have been struck such a devistating blow. There are times for self-indulgence and there are times to direct our energy first toward others, and that is what I am trying to do right now. I know you Ty are feeling the same, as are many of the folks associated with our beloved DSO. Often times, quiet work in the background is just as critical as dramatic work out front... we all know that. My love to you brother and to all in this little niche of the cyber-ether. LIRNFA...c
PS... look forward to practicing some of those dance moves soon ;-D
