as far as AOL - um, i suggest a lobotomy without anasthetic performed by a
toddler before trying to surf/buy/compose email etc on their pathetic
watered down browser.  they cause nightmares for us programmer geek
people.  their lines are often busy or randomly down. they are widespread
(like mold), they have a huge part of the backbone, and are probably one
of the better providers out there. try NetZero - they're going everywhere.

that's a strange similie to draw... um. he reminded me of the gentle funny
tunes from oldtime bluegrass festivals.  i preferred it highly to sixpence
(no offense to anyone). i like the guitar playing, and the funny/sad
words. must be some pretty good third-graders to write poetry... ilike the
irony, i liked the songs. some i didn't get - i'm not always that quick to
decipher noise into intelligible words. words belong on paper - sounds are
out loud code.

i am *not* a hoosier, never was and never will be. it's impossible. having
said that, i live in indiana (vaguely near fred).

friend came to see me at work yesterday - we had lunch. i get back and the
secretary says 'was that girl from some other country?'

'yes'

'where?'

'colombia'

'o, is that in africa? i heard you talking that other language, i guess
you speak that too?'

'spanish? yea, i guess i do.'

and after long attempts to decipher this innoccuous little acronym, it
occurs to me it means 'now playing'.
