Pam,

No, actually, I play World of Warcraft w/ him 'cause unlike many of my 
friends he is still awake in Kabul when I wake up. I usually spend my 
morning coffee & plan for the day time checking out the AH (auction 
house) on the NOT FOR REAL cyber world... if I am making money there, 
and I always make money there, then I feel good about the start of the 
day... so instead of 2 hrs of commuting I converse w/ a Warthog mechanic 
in Afghanistan (Redbeard, a lvl 60 hunter on Manoroth) and we run around 
w/ a bunch of other online gamers shooting things and collecting loot. 
At my 54+ I recently had one conversation w/ a woman who I think is a 
small animal veterinarian in west Texas who was lamenting at 32 that she 
was an old woman in the online gaming world. When she found out how old 
I am she said she hoped to be as spry when she got old. Between waiting 
for the computer I read... reading the 360 degree Leader by John C. 
Maxwell right now. Was reading Von Clausewitz before but switched him 
over to reading on the train. I read a different book when I watch TV.

South Park recently did an episode on WoW. I laughed.

So... having seen John Callan mention You Tube that I knew absolutely 
zero about I was working on my video technology for the upcomming event 
w/ PTN in Nola to do some video for John Leeke and made a short clip 
that Lisa Sasser suggested jokingly that I put on You Tube. So I went 
and found out what You Tube is. Check out the Spastic Beach Crabman

Incredibly amazing the octagenarians talking about their WW2 experiences.

This online vid technology all works out real fine for me because I have 
been converting my short stories over to audio (podcasts but not daily 
obsessive enough), but then got started doing a story in a video to put 
on my iPod. I like the idea that you can upload videos... it could be 
done as well for How To Fix Porch Screens on DFI. Amazing Google just 
bought You Tube, & connections w/ Apple wanting to do major vid pod stuff.

I for many reasons like this guy moving stones

Reminds me of the stuck up A-hole in the Brown Spot on Nova uprighting 
obelisks only this seems like a really decent guy from Michigan.
