<font color="#55aacc"> Yeah Jack was a goody goody, thats where Chavez and ack...cant remember his name John something....came in, those were "good guys" but they werent good [img]smile.gif[/img]

What I really enjoyed though was he (Clancy) was often writing about things I had been involved with or been around (the technology and programs not the actual operations) Its kinda cool at seeing stuff you were never allowed to talk about being put into print [img]smile.gif[/img] So I guess it isn't the Spy genre I like so much as the ...realness of the operations and methods and sources. With James Bond and other writers you know its all just made up, Clancy was the first writer I ever found who actually KNEW what was going on behind the scenes.</font>

That would be nice but from the looks of it, my face is going to remain in text books even over the weekends LOL. I signed up for 19 college credit hours and although the classes seem to go by fast and the days seem shorter than they did last semester, there are a lot more books involved. ugh lol.

I love old hardbacks :D My fav store in Tucson was a humungous used bookstore with big comfy leather couches and cushy chairs set around the different sections that were usually full of fellow book-lovers. I found many collectibles among its shelves for a buck fifty or more (never over 5 dollars though heh heh heh). [img]smile.gif[/img]
I've been introduced to a couple of used bookstores here in TX but haven't really taken a day to peruse them and see what they have to offer. I'll make it a point to take a weekend into town soon for that purpose and if I can't find an older copy of Ishmael, I am hoping I can order a new one. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks again!</font>[/QUOTE]<font color="#55aacc">Ack 19 credits?? Hehe I have a hard time with just 6. Are you a full time student? Guess you would qualify even if you werent with 19 credits in a semester. What is your major? if I may ask? </font>

19 :D
I have to go full time in order to fulfill my end of the bargain to obtain them.
My major is education. I'm working for a Bachelor's in Interdisciplinary Studies which will enable me to teach or eventually become a principle. I am choosing to teach; grades K-4.

<font color="#55aacc"> Wow cool [img]smile.gif[/img] Im going for Imformation Systems Management, but Im taking a lot of extra interdisciplinary classes and extra sciences just because I like them and well....as long as my company is willing to pay for them (providing I maintain a B average or better) I figure why not have the fun [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>
