Hi John, I just wanted to say thanx for visiting the Electronic Village. Off to view your blogs now. peace, Villager

John, I like your positive mindset..Plus, thanks for the kind words. You have really added a lot to so many of our discussions at The Benin Epilogue. Just wanted to say thanks. Oh, on the comments-I think you are right, being open is the way to go. I try to just make it an extension of my personality, you know...for some reason I've always been more reserved and a listener moreso than a talker...so in a way what you said about the open forum aspect of my blog relates to that. But when that fails I try to ask myself how would I wnat to be treated in that smae situation...The Golden Rule, my friend...The Golden Rule applies to so much in life...Be good and hope to do it again!

Howdy Stranger! Great bumping into ya here...how's life treatin ya?
