With my glowing personality I DID play a lot of Teeter in my life. Hide, too. And Ping.... Nobody invited me to play with them because I was always the type that MUST win, no matter what the game and no matter what it took. (I have a GREAT high school hockey story but it doesn't belong here.)

Imagination is an interesting thing, Rob. I have never seen a Star Wars or Star Trek movie. Never watched an episode of Star Trek on TV. Never saw Indiana Jones movies, or Harry Potter. I prefer factual stuff that can actually happen. I don't believe in coincidence or superstition, or anything that can't be proven. Thus my disdain for the bible. A collection of folklore handed down for thousands of years, translated and reinterpreted many times by every generation.

So, other people's accomplishments are not my accomplishments, and I have no desire to share their spotlight. They earned it. I did not. It doesn't change me at all to have known someone in the distant past. If it's someone that calls me regularly and seeks my input, sure, but nobody calls me. Other than the Indians wanting to scam me out of my credit card numbers or telling me I owe the IRS money, impossible since all my income for the last 5 years has been tax free....
