employer – links to the five colleges)

door to online journals and gobs of reference materials … from home!)

especially for online ‘technical’ info… otherwise use… )

information)

weather.com, see for yourself)

features, but know this: NPR leans to the left)

Wait Don’t Tell Me, and the best classical music)

right?)

At the 2006
The jury is still out as
to whether or not this
“Screaming Guy” is upset
about something.
My friend Chris drew him
for me. I own the copyrighted so don’t steal it.
He’s really an excellent
artist, and usually for hire.
Email me and I’ll get you
some contact information.
