awww, I like those stories, too...
and the last line of the article really struck a chord with me, a hard hitting chord that kind of hurt my head...
maybe it's time we all woke up a little to the possibilites still left within us and our oustretching lives.
K, so I'd be emailing you about this, but for some reason I CANNOT find your email address. Blah.
I have to eat a lot of crow, Liz, but you'll be happy. I finally watched all three seasons of BSG and it was so frackin awesome! I am in love with that show!!!
We just watched Razor last night and we're all set to start season 4. Email me directly so I can ask you questions about say, the final 5, Starbuck, etc. Yippeee!
