Caddocourt--
(I'm doing really well on the whole, "that's the last of me for today"
thing.)
I apologize, but it's hard for me to keep names straight over the long
periods of time on this list with e-mail addresses that don't necessarily
show them (mine doesn't either). Are you they guy who threw himself in
front of me saying, "Dave don't listen, you don't want to hear this"? That
was very considerate of you, and I recall it fondly.
> "I have always wanted to finish them and put them out there, but just
never got the chance."
I would say, "my former life in a nutshell," but that would be incomplete.
To make it complete, I have to add, "my ex-wife remarried and they live
across the street from Marc Miller." THAT completes my former life in a
nutshell.
And speaking of, "just never got the chance" if I were as smart as I like
to believe I am, after all this time I would admit that none of that TNE
stuff is ever going to happen, erase those brain cells, and use them for
something else. I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm just too fond of
all of the little unwritten stories.
