First thing's first. I've been thinking about changing the name of my mini-series from 'Life Changing Knowledge' to 'Realizations' or something like that. I wan looking back at what I've posted, and the last couple of things that I've written about were more of the type of, 'it just hit me over the head' topics.

My favorite quote of all time? "Speak your mind, but ride a fast horse." -Unknown <- That's very very truee.
"For fifty years, they said the horse was through. Now look at him - a status symbol" -Fletcher Knebel
