I read you, Batty,and Alda religiously and a few others on occasion, but time and interest are always limited. I might like to try blogging someday, but I am afraid my wife would read it and be doubtful of my sanity. Somehow, after 25 years, I don't think she has been fooled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17064999.post-33830378551023224802008-08-12T16:05:00.000-04:002008-08-12T16:05:00.000-04:00Eleven doesn't fit in a nutshell.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Eleven doesn't fit in a nutshell.<BR/>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR/>Succinct is a good talent to have, especially when you are taking classes, hmmm?Darien Fisher-Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886321196588554175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17064999.post-19399132173671906632008-08-12T15:36:00.000-04:002008-08-12T15:36:00.000-04:00I am a secondary forest products marketing special...I am a secondary forest products marketing specialist (I sell boards in a lumber yard) B.A. in 1973, picking up an A.A.S. to be a medical lab technician.

Grandfather from Iceland. Father was Icelandic/Norwegian, mum was a Brit. Have horses, dogs, cats(11), wife.

School is hard for an old geezer like me, but I no longer have the same distractions.

It is also much shorter than Independent People, so you might finish it before school starts...Darien Fisher-Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886321196588554175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17064999.post-25527803229952818002008-08-11T22:24:00.000-04:002008-08-11T22:24:00.000-04:00I finished "Independent People" a few days ago.
