    hey what happened to “overprotected children grow up”? best piece here so far, imo, posting something like that takes more courage than biking in bear country…

    Wow, someone actually read THAT? I’m impressed with your patience!

    I posted it because I’ve been thinking about that stuff for a while and needed to sort of get it out of my system. Deleted it the next day thinking that posting a lengthy, boring, whiney rant about my childhood is a waste of internet space. :-) But, hey, even if one person thinks it’s a good post, then a large chunk of my readership does (few enough people read this blog that one person IS a large chunk of my readership :-)). So maybe it should go back up.
