Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Very true Shawn! Funny you should point that out. When I wrote it, I originally used the word " path " and thought to myself, " no, that's not accurate. " Then I put in the word " way " and thought, that's better, but still not quite right. Left it in anyway... nice pick up.
