Somehow The Late Great Planet Earth got into the house & that piqued my interest. <br /><br />A news article said a showing of Thief was going to be at a local Assembly of God & I went. Haven't looked back since, but I did pick up the habit of critical thinking in the meantime.<brJayhttp://www.jaysteevee.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-59900116252435404952012-08-23T20:41:33.782-05:002012-08-23T20:41:33.782-05:00No problem, Jay.
