Activities
Drinking decaf, being filled with wonder, eating mardi gras wings, hearing the difference an inexpensive subwoofer makes, formatting my blog entries, having a girlfriend again someday, keeping my overhead low, relating the abstract to the concrete, you know, the usual stuff.
Thanks to ALL MySpace friends !

Please let me know if I missed your name.
This sounds sappy but it's true. My heroes are the people in my lifetime who remind me of that song "The Wind Beneath my Wings." But there are other heroes too, service people, teachers, the guy on the street who asked for food money and then after getting a few more quarters, bought some tacos in the restaurant, generous rich people, children and old folks. They are heroes. And in a way, other species too. Oh yes, another hero is my alter ego and his name is Nobby Rains. Wow, this list could get very long in a hurry. Hmm.. You yourself are a hero in some way!
