What can I say, Tink, except that I found KMAN's list more than
adequate.

As to the other stuff, you may recall that you made some innane
comment
about whatever I do ending up on a scrap heap (I can't recall your
exact words, but that pretty-much sums it up). And I explained to you
that whatever I do likely will NOT end up on a scrap heap but, would,
rather, live long past my physical demise. This legacy (for lack of a
better word right now) constitutes my after-life. I'm content with
that. That gves me a warm fuzzy feeling right now.

By way of example, I was up at the field hockey clubhouse last night.
In one of the meetings for novice coaches, I saw 6 girls/young women
who I had coached earlier in their careers. They may well have their
own motives for wanting to coach, but I also know them well enough to
know that by modelling behavior, I influenced them (and I know for a
fact they'll use many of the coaching drills and tactics I used). So,
already a "legacy". Now, if these young ladies have a similar impact
on
their players, isn't that one hell of an "after-life" even before I'm
gone. That, Tink, is what an after-life means to me -- making
differences in peoples' lives that they'll not soon forget.

frtzw, I want you to know that I expect that you are a very nice man,
that we could have a great time paddling or playing chess together. We
could probably enjoy a good conversation over some beer and pretzels.
If my stomping through your memorial gardens seemed unceremonius, and
agregious, and upset you, I apologize. However it was not pointless. I
desired to upset you. If my little rant could upset you, then you must
now add that to your memorial garden. Maybe that you have been attacked
by a rabid Christian should read well on your memorial headstone, or
maybe that you let him get under your skin for being rude! No, that
would not read as well!

That we have had an interesting conversation should also be noted in
your memorial, that you are a nice guy, that you have dedicated your
life to educating young people in sportsmanship, drills and tactics.
That someone 20, 30, or 40 years from now will speak highly of you,
will be your lasting legacy.

I look forward to continuing our converstion, for I am learning alot of
new and wonderful things, That may be on your legacy stone as well!

I did come across some interesting web articles that I wanted to share
with you about the religious right, and conservative politics. I think
you will find them interesting.
