know I learned in kindergarten, like sharing,
how to get along with others, the importance
of playing fairly, how to kill silently using
only a piano wire as a garrote... No, wait, that

grade music class, but hey, you get the idea.
Skipnote: I'm heading off on vacation this morning, so the next week will be dark. Try to hide your disappointment.
Top of the Heap: I'm heading off to do my OWN underwater photography this morning, but here's some other beautiful underwater photos
