hi clappy-

i had forgotten about your job in
the city - you had mentioned it earlier.

i'm sure the folks there are resting a
lot easier knowing that you're keeping them
safe. btw, you look good in red and blue <vbg>

I get the feeling that this letter is the set up for
more adventure. Not just a simple letter. More like a
chapter.


that obvious, eh?

this IS a chapter and day three had a couple of things
in it that tie in to the total experience. i didn't
know that on day three. i'm wondering if i should
have written the letter without giving the appearance
that there might be a tie in to future events? or if
it's ok as written?... maybe it's good that the
reader picks up the feeling that there's more to
this story? i dunno. i'm not a very good story teller.
i just write letters.

it's going pretty slowly. i don't expect to finish all
12 letters until fall because in the meantime, i have a
job, a family, communications with friends, posting on SI
and two sailing boards, a presidential campaign, actual
sailing on the water, and living in the present moment
to do as well. (that last one is my favorite and it
makes it hard to write about the past -- being a student
is much more fun than being a teacher -- but there
ARE obligations and responsibilities one has to life,
and sharing experiences is one of them. you do it so
well... and so do the rest of the people on this thread.)

my life has been fuller and richer because of it.
thank you all. (i can hardly wait to go to korea via
coach19's letters)

re: the "care to help" website

i didn't have any problem viewing it like you did BUT...
that's good info.

personally, i hate frames (for several reasons).
one of the reasons is the one you mentioned.
scott might do well to ask his web designer to
eliminate the frames design. there isn't a good enough
reason to be using frames on this site - the header
that has the navigation links on it doesn't need to
be in a separate frame - it could be built into every
page and would remain in the same position without
any extra loading time just like the header on this
SI page. of course the reader has to scroll back
up to the top to use the navigation links but those
links could also be placed at the bottom of the
page like many web page designers do - at least
that would eliminate the problem of having something
that the reader can't get to - that's a frustrating
experience.
