Well introductions aside...

Elrock: Nice to have such a fine run down for the team members.

Rugs: Good to hear from you. That is really a bummer how much day care costs. I guess that is why so many families choose to have one stay at home parent. Blah... At least your accounting with day care units is more utilitarian and socially acceptable than Rude's usage of Lap Dances and Popcorn as currency. Although I have to say Trading several buckets of popcorn for a lap dance would be quite a sight to behold.

Well I finished the first of the two books recommended by Elrockington, Get in the Van by Henry Rollins. Very revealing diary entries by said author during his days with Black Flag. Wow, his journal entries really let you crawl into a frightning period in his life. Besides the really disturbing and scary thoughts he has during what is obviously a severe bout of depression in his life, you get to see what it was like on the road with Black Flag. Man tough go at it. Perhaps not quite as bad as I imagine days with Sid Vicious, but pretty damn near close, sans drugs.

Rude & Ja -El: You know, the A song of Ice and Fire books are really good at hooking you in and keeping your attention, but every so often you get to a new chapter and realize, 'I dont want to read about that character right now'. I usually get frustrated at that point and set the book down for a bit. A lot of segways and sometimes characters disappear for hundreds of pages. Come to think of it Tolkien did that a bit in Return of the King.

PS Rugs: A word of advice, every once in a while blogger eats your posting when you try and publish it. Usually this happens if you take to long. I think everyone here has been bitten before by this issue. I suggest you type it out in a text editor like Word and copy and paste it to your blog when you are ready. There is nothing like working for 15 minutes on a blog to have it disappear into the ether.
