Getting the hang of it....

Now I'm cooking with grease. You now have the ability to access a variety of websites representing two of my alter egos: sports fanatic and graduate student. Enjoy. Also, here's a link to an epitaph website featuring a couple of music videos by the weakerthans: http://www.epitaph.com/artists/artist/137/. They're a fantastic Canadian band I became acquainted with during my time north of the border. Click on the video of Psalm for the Elks Lodge for a look see. More to follow....

perhaps this is off-subject, but your mentioning online access to your alter egos prompted me to bring up the personality-altering potential we have on the internet. there is an online version of a game originally designed in 1986 for Commodore 64, Apple II and Macintosh that allows the player to experiment with an entire lifetime by making themed choices at various stages of life.
