I am still looking for new "toys" and new techniques for web design [new to me, that is] and if you should run across me hitch-hiking down the Super Highway, slow down and wave. There are people out there writing new programs faster then I can review them [notice, I didn't say download them]. Who knows, maybe one day....nawww, I don't think my interest is in writing programs. I sure am glad there are those who are though, I can't imagine a world with no new things to learn!

I'm also in the process of writing again. Due to past encouragement, it seemed like the thing to do. I can't promise the great American novel, but it should be quite interesting. At this time, I'm doing a section a day [AOL does not allow much space in e-mail when you think about it] and at this rate it will probably take me the rest of my life. That's ok though, the story has no end as yet.

Acropobia and the Internet Talk rooms remain favorites, I'm just not there as often. It seems like there is not enough time to do all the things I want to do. My mailing list is starting to suffer as I try to juggle all the things on my schedule and stuff in some actual job hunting too. Sad to say, my "long vacation" is almost over, how will I every find enough time now....

My head is still in the clouds and I am meeting many new friends...the Internet is a wonderful place, so many people....so much information! I know we have all seen the studies that indicate the Internet is harmful to some extent. It is certainly addictive, but I don't think I would change a thing. I have met a lot of people here and learned much from them...they have encouraged me to do things that I would not have ordinarily done, and for that alone, I will be forever grateful. ::::raising glass to friends, both present and absent:::
