No, the guys in the breakfast club get my 'musings' live. In person. Better that way by a long shot.

I actually don't send many emails. In fact they'd all be related to other stuff I do. I'm trying to replace water heaters in a building built in 1873 at the moment, and have to get a 4 story chimney relined to meet codes, about 20 emails on that so far, because relocate and redo the plumbing could be plan b but I can't powervent up 4 stories plus chimney height, and relocation involves 100 plus feet of 1 inch copper pipe. ARrgh.

If I went through my emails I get 20 a day, and send about 4 a week. I never send jokes or crazy stuff in emails.

I am old enough and sort of first in with the net and Unix. And been around the block. My brother taught my Dad how to use Outlook Express and I spend an hour a month trying to help him despite the fact I have not even seen the program for years. What works I leave alone if possible.

I learn quick for my age LOL. I found out the other day if I put a realtrack on the soloist all kinds of stuff comes out where I don't want it and it sends my external midi stuff haywire. So I just don't do that anymore. Until a few builds, and I'll pull out the old steno book and go, try that again and then go 'Bad Idea!" or "It's fixed!"

I try and keep things less than serious if at all possible. It solves a world of ills, and keeps me going.
