101? Right now I'm reading, Dr. Laura Schlessinger's "The Ten
Commandments-The Significance of God's Laws in Everyday Life", "Before It's
Too Late-Why Some Kids Get Into Trouble-and What Parents Can Do About It" and
"Coaching Soccer". You can do a lot of reading when you ride the train 3
hours a day.
Well that's it. Oh ya, I think I'm supposed to say something nice about the
person next to me which according to some is Terry. Well Terry, you should be
very proud of yourself. You have a beautiful family, a lovely house and you
started over by going back to school and achieving what you set out to do.
And you know what you're a very nice person with a great personality. I can't
ever remember you getting angry or upset about something when we were in
school. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only pick 68 people to
be with me you'd be in the top 5.
And as for the person who I think we'll least hear from on the e-mail line,
my pick is Donna Rowe.
Take care everyone,
Smitty
