I know - I have been a life-long ranter and have the blood pressure and hyperacidity to prove it.<BR/><BR/>The projection, out-of-self, of acting is a great balancer for the self-absorption of ranting. I do it myself on occasion. Annie knows what I am talking about and will surely provide the achievement of this balance for you for many years to come, Trevor!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
