This video also answers the question, "Why do lady singers prefer acoustic guitars as personal, er, instruments?"

I like the badly proportioned rick bass, although, from personal experience, programs like flash are so frustrating that once you have an image that looks remotely like what you're trying to portray (and animate it on top of that!) you'll take what you have.

Paul, is that going to be your theme song for the next 10 to 15 years?

I'm already rehearsing it, Richard. And buying a badly-proportioned shotgun...

Good for you, Paul. For the relationship my daughter is involved in, I would have settled for the character in the animation. But since she's over twenty-one, I just get the character. But of course, my wife's mother felt the same way some odd 30 plus years ago.

Sitting in a rocking chair on your front porch Paul, with the shotgun laying across you lap, would be the ultimate deterrent for any would be suitors. No need to learn the song - just a stern look would get your point across!

I will insist that all potentials will sit still long enough for a friendly qualification session followed by administration of an oath and the current version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.

If only Paul had enough land on his property for a front porch!

True, but there's room for a rocking chair next to the trash cans, Jeff!

I'm certainly no expert, but I've had enough daughters to have made most of the mistakes. No matter how many you have, it never gets any easier. Right now my girls are 0 for 3 on the boyfriend scale and I couldn't be happier.

Oldest - Just graduated from Med School...too busy, no Grey's Anatomy foolishness for her.
Middle - 1 more year of college, then off to Grad School...dumped her loser boyfriend a year ago and is happier than a clam...one guess on who else might be smiling.
Youngest - Too busy playing Field Hockey to worry about boys...thinks they're immature...good thing I was never like that eh?

I think the secret is to give them a real sense of what it is to be cherished. That tends to make them so secure they won't put up with jerks.

Now if I can get my three boys to be the kind of guys fathers would love...

"I think the secret is to give them a real sense of what it is to be cherished. That tends to make them so secure they won't put up with jerks."

Words of wisdom, John. Boys learn by example, a burden and a blessing - it gives you a real chance.

May I boast? My oldest girl (36) is an international financial consultant who lives in Madrid and commutes to Casablanca on her latest contract. She's married to a financial consultant who she met while getting her second Master's degree at INSEAD in France. Her first Master's was from Fletcher in Boston.

So she's OK, I think!

My middle daughter (31) is also married and has a business degree; works in real estate in the Chicago suburbs. Doing all right for herself, too.

My youngest (10) is my current devotion. I have a hunch she's headed for good things, too.

The house is a rental, guys, just to keep us in the best school district. It's TINY, and right now we are priced out of the market. ($1.25 million is the median price around here).

But in a year or two...

"($1.25 million is the median price around here)"

That's a LOT of acoustics, Paul!!

Great about your daughters too. I'm a big booster of daughters! Let me brag a tad too, my middle (23) is getting her doctorate in Astrophysics. Not sure where her ability comes from - certainly not me!!
