Someone has been watching Joseph Cambell! PBS, of course.
And to add fuel to the fire here BLL, did you catch the weekly column by Michael Serino, A late-night encounter on The Commons?
That one sent me into a Blue Rant!!!!
Sorry, I don't swallow that tale of woe, not one bit!!
I was the kid who failed stuff because I was too busy playing with computers and practicing with my band.
well, the band didn't stay together, but I'm a computer and network systems tech.
oh well, at least I still play guitar. suckers.
