Hello RT.

The game does have this effect on us, just ask the Mrs., the day's outlook
can be impacted on how the morning sortie went. Solution: play only after
work and fill the drop tanks with ale.

Take some well needed R&R. The first week will be tough, after the 2nd, you
wont miss it at all. (well maybe a little) Keep the wrenches turning and
jerk the jaws off those bass. ( I saw a Bass-O-Matic on sale at the marina,
19.95) Have a long talk with your daughter, maybe you can convince her to
remove the "Kiss me I'm Confused" sticker from her Mustang. (Keep the
shotgun ready).

> 1. You grow fastest by fighting the best. Ask someone to mentor you.
> 2. You want to get better? Be willing to die and learn!
> 3. Altitude, accept no substitute.
> 4. Fly each plane to its advantage. Pick one plane and learn it!
> 5. The WEB is a place that evil can hide behind. Be "light" in this game
