That's another great piece of work.

I especially like the poem and the interpretation of it.

Erh.. I've never hear of Aeschylus, the poet Confused?? Is the poet a fictional or real charcater? If yes, what's the title of the poem?

I've read almost nothing beyond English and French lit., aside from an excerpt or two. I haven't gotten myself to read the Iliad or Aeneid yet, but will.

smith's "Iced Dude," very good, made me laugh a lot and gave me some serious things to think on too. My hair has never been blue, but well, I've gotta appreciate the color (grin). It just proves again smith's got way more talent and brains than anyone would expect.

Recently, I heard one of the teens tell our youth minister she shouldn't get "all defrosted" (lose her cool). OK, so I'm not sure if "defrosted" is trendy now, but I thought it was too great to forget. "Iced," huh? I like it. I grew up with 80's slang. :shrugs: Why, when I was your age, we walked ten miles through the snow.... (J/K, what snow, in this weather? LOL)

Hmm. I hit a snag in "Just Hit Send - The College Years" and I now have a little time to get myself to read past the snag. Not sure if it was the dad or the guys' suddenly bumpy relationship that caused the snag for me. -- Gotta finish it, though. Too good not to.

My snag in "just hit send" was the incredibly unprofessional behavior of the physical therapist and that no-one called him on it at the clinic. But i gritted my teeth and read on...and i'm glad i did.

BTW, smith--I HATE you for the cliffhanger in the last chapter of "Dreamcatchers"!! Wink

that therapist was VERY good at concealing his behaviours from his peers. And he did a good job overall. Even if he lacked professionalism
