    That's a handy trick, isn't it?

    True. Makes you wonder why it is I can never go to the freakin' bathroom in peace. I turn on a radio, they run away. I go to the bathroom, they gather at the door to ask questions. WTF?

    By now you pretty much know what they want. Put everything in box and place it on the kitchen counter. When they ask for something, "box in the kitchen on the counter."

    Ha! Nice. Actually, I'm glad they ask. I've always taught them to ask for things before they just take and they're really good about that. As they've gotten older I've loosened up on that sort of thing, but they still ask. I'm cool with that, I just wish they'd wait the 45 seconds for me to get in and out of the bathroom. I NEVER take long in the bathroom. I mean, I did radio. I mastered the art of going to the bathroom in 3.5 minutes or less. Usually a lot less. 35 seconds is more like it, but almost without fail, someone will come to the door anyway. A lot of times after 2:45 PM on a weekday, it's to tell me some funny thing that happened at school.

    No, but go to www.zerobeat.net and look up the Drake List. Post an ad for sale there and you'll have several from which to choose.

    That, or head to Dayton. You're always sure to find half a dozen there.

    ...He also worked for IBM, ITT, Fairchild and Teredyne.
    Ask your dad if he ever had anything to do with Mackay Marine while at ITT, and if so: What.

    My mom lived n Woodville back in the 60's. That's close to Dayton, isn't it?

    I remember hearing the name Mackey Marine when I was a kid. I'll ask him. He mainly worked in test equipment.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
