[NEohioPAL]why all the fuss?

[Harris Roger]

True, I just look for something that would at least pay my way for the trips 
and such. Not being nice is much worse than letting you know ahead of time 
you'll not be paid. That will change, thanks to the Got Pay people (person?) 
If anyone knows of anyone in need of an ecologist (that can sing, dance, 
act, etc), or would like to help me write and produce (or at least discuss) 
a really cool science,  politics, religion, end of the world/save the world/ 
what's the real truth of it all thriller idea, get in touch. I have a head 
shot, and just maybe sue Johnson still has a hard copy of my acting 
resume... the old PC got my copy, ask if you'd like my ecologist resume. 
Yea, Cleveland Rocks, but I could use a Job!
