Stevie Ray Vaughan - An extremely passionate blues guitarist.  If you really want to enjoy his music purchase his concert DVD's "Live at the el Mocambo" and "Live from Austin, Texas".   I currently have 3 prints taken by W. A. Williams of SRV (all 3 gifts from my sister, thanks Vick!).  These come highly recommended!  Other SRV sites include www.stevie-ray-vaughan-online.com, www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/8242/, and www.srvcatalog.com/.

Runners World - I don't think this one needs a description!  :)

Yahoo Groups -There is a great discussion group on egroups for Opel owners.  If interested search egroups for classicopels.

Suicide Survivors - After more than 20 years I have only recently explored the issues I have being a Suicide Survivor.  These links have been very educational and amazingly enough, comforting.  I read many of the stories and see things about myself in them.  I have found a support group that meets in Topeka twice a month.  As yet I've not been able to work up the courage to attend.  Recently I have read 3 books on the subject:  "No Time to Say Goodbye" by Carla Fine, "In The Wake of Suicide" by Victoria Alexander, and "Healing After The Suicide of a Loved One" by Ann Smolin and John Guinan.  These are good books and I would recommend them.  Here are 2 other suicide survivor sites.  

Chronic Tonsilitis  Click here for a link to a discussion area on tonsilectomies.  UPDATE!  On 1/24/01 I had my tonsilectomy surgery.  All is going well except for my sense of taste.  It's really messed up.  NOTHING tastes right and some things taste horrible (like chocolate - which tastes bitter).  The Dr. said that approximately 10% of his adult patients have this happen and it can take up to 4 months to get back to normal.  It is now 2 months since my tonsilectomy and I have not seen any improvement in my sense of taste.  I am less than happy about this and not optimistic that I'll see any improvement.   Click here for a picture of my throat just after the tonsilectomy.  Caution:  Many people who have seen this say it is gross!

LASIK Vision Correction  Click here for a link to a discussion group on the pro's and con's of LASIK.  Note that the last time I was there a few people with less than optimal results dominated the area and did their best to discourage everyone from risking it.  Personally I am less than completely satisfied.  I am thankful that I have good vision after the correction but less than thrilled at the number of floaters I now have.

Colorado - If you love the mountains and the outdoors this is the place to vacation!  Lisa and I have been to Colorado Springs (driven to the top of Pikes Peak), Durango (and rode the Durango to Silverton railroad),  Boulder (if you like Italian food visit the Gondolier with home made pasta), Estes Park (and into Rocky Mountain National Park), and many other small remote towns.
