*I blame my mental decline on too much Douglas Adams, Monty Python, The Three Stooges, The Ramones.

Tom you are not alone. Linda and my Wedding Invitations stated a ceremony time of 5:42 PM, I only play golf with balls custom numbered 42, every project I have ever estimated or quoted has the all important 42 integrally included and you would have loved my 42nd Birthday party (Halloween in Lahaina).

While Douglas, Monty and the Ramones have certainly influenced my life, the Beatles, Hunter S Thompson, Robert Heinlein, Spider Robinson, W. P. Kinsella, Tage Frid, HS Wright and the brothers Green also need to be recognized.

PS- Have you ever tried Dirk Genlty's driving instruction of "just follow the car ahead of you, it must be going somewhere"? Makes for an interesting day trip.
