Congrats on crossing the thousand-points mark…a strong start to the new year!
Orli, I never realized this was you! Ariele just told me.
I was at Galil the other weekend, and I found the wall where you had written your name and all the years you were there. It was funny, I took a picture.

I'll try it. Thank you!
Well, that's sort of the crux of the thing. Fiction-wise I'm not as enthusiastic or knowledgeable about anyone else. What I like about Palaniuk, though, is his prism of American subcultures, themes involving the pursuit of pleasure/satisfaction through (purifying) degradation and destruction, and his masculine voice as has been noted. Of course, the whole is greater than the parts and that includes his brilliant language and narrative. So, I don't know... not looking for a clone but a similarly intense experience. Thanks.
Hey there! Are you looking for Berkeley-specific places for your silent auction? I live in Alameda, and I can think of a whole bunch of places here that might donate - if that's useful, let me know and I'll send you a list... =)
thanks occ. I found this too and it's the best answer out there I think. planning to go cradle to grave at the homestead. thanks for taking time out of your bizy work life.
What do you think of the new site?
Re: Lyme disease. How long ago were you at camp in Putnam County? Increase of disease has been dramatic in the past few years. Columbia County, where I am, seems to have the highest # of cases in the state at last count.
i think your expertise also includes working out, chard, and not taking no for an answer.
No... what is the error? What versions of IE?
