Aha!!!! You like change? Maybe you just accept it? Maybe you can believe in it?... IDK... Looks like a certain well-taned man has made quite an impression on you recently.

I often lay in bed at night and, as I drift off to sleep, I actually think of you. I picture those I have never seen and try to imagine what you look like. I can see those I have met and I imagine hanging out and talking. I recall those that have made personal efforts to spend time with me. And I smile. Sometimes, I wonder what you're doing at that moment. Are you sleeping? Are you sharing with family? Working? Listening to some Priest? HA!!!!!!
We can say what we will about some of the behavior here. As much as I have always tried to show grace and manners I realize that I am human and I get caught up in the silliness just as anyone else can. We can declare our disgust and leave.

But we can also share in the unique and widely varied personalities that make up OUR Board today. That's right, OUR Board. It is ours. Yours and mine. We keep coming here because we care. We defend because we care. We argue because we care. We laugh because we care. Most importantly of all........we care.

I noticed last year when JP tickets were on sale at the venues and through live nation there where other sites charging over 1,000.00 for the same ticket I had for way much less. Crazy, anyone would buy those tickets! Must just be people who don't shop around for the proper sites to pay that amount, but yeh it really sucks when a venue sells out and that is what your left with.

Har, har, har, har! Did I say something that isnt true?
As for the recording machine, be gratefull it works now, and hope it continues. And sacrifice an IT guy to the computer gods. Oh, Darth!...

Afternoon, kiddies. Busy today working on recording. I have actually gotten pretty good at this confounded machine! Still bugs me ... TODAY the damn thing completely crashed!! Screen went black, music shut off. Dead. Scared the poo out of me as I was dreading the notion of having to go into the bedroom and tell the Princess I killed the computer! She would no doubt blame my singing.....HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fortunately it is working now. Still have NO idea what happened.

I am fairly certain that everyone (or nearly everyone) here knows my feelings regarding education. There are many opinions and varying schools of thought on what higher education means in this day and age but, I remain steadfast in my position that a college education is still as important today as it has always been.
There are positions that are filled by people that are not formally educated. There are people that are incredibly intelligent who do not have college credentials. In short, there is always an exception to the rule. However, with the number of folks that are looking for work nowadays, the employee-pool has taken on quite a different look than it has had in years past. Even very bright, intellectual people are out of work. When this occurs, one's education becomes increasingly important. You see, I do understand what Tim was trying to say. You want the "right" person in the position, not always the most educated. But what happens when you have more than one "right" person? What criteria is used to further define just who is most "right"?
Of course, a lot of it has to do with the job at hand. We all know that different personalities handle different jobs with different styles. Depending on what is expected, one can even further narrow the choices. It really depends on the industry and the job description. I cannot speak for those industries with which I have no experience but I do know about mine. The financial industry, for all it's current deprecation, is still an industry made up of highly skilled, highly educated individuals. If I were to interview subjects for a position and I found that I had more than one who appeared qualified, I would absolutely look at their educational background. Absolutely. An education says a lot about a person. It is not just about being "book smart". It is about dedication and perserverence. It is about hard work and ability to achieve. Sacrifice and focus. Obtaining a degree is only part of it.
