    Thanks for extending a hand, Chris.

    That's some resume there.  For some reason Alaska gravedigger really jumps out.  I'm sure there are technical problems.  :-)

    Good luck with your badass stuff.

    Oh, how nice!  Thanks.  Being a writer has many private rewards, but publicly it tends to be a very painful experience. I know others have the same problems I have or had, and it's easy to feel sympathy.
