DJ, I am happy to know you are out there and well. I am still on Koh Samui, and the financial abyss looks better, I believe, from this vantage point. Nothing to do except grin, bear it, be humorous, enjoy the education, and hopefully pick up some bits and pieces abandoned and soon to be abandoned by the folks who panicked not as early as the threaders here.
watched dvd "journey to the center of the world" last night. there was a scene where the main characters fell into a void, screamed, and after a bit of screaming, started a discussion, "we are still falling ... (followed on by speculation about what awaits them at the inevitable end)" ... and then they started screaming once more, with gusto.
cheers, j
just in in-tray
