Hi John,

I'm a skeptic too, and didn't even accept my own experience the
first time.  And 'watching thoughts flowing through consciousness' 
was just amusing for many years before the significance of the 
experienced dawned on me.  

I miss watching football.  My husband was primarily a Raiders fan,
and would root for either the Giants or the Cowboys.  My son still 
ridicules me for being the fan of "fiercest rivals."
