Well you guys sucked me back in (at the moment)...

I was being nostalgic and decided to type "Progger" in the search thread to find my "Progger.... Can't spell?

" homage I did years ago as a tribute to bosk and I stumbled on an old thread where people asked other forum members questions. That was fun. Let's do it again. Only for now it will be me.

So ask me a question.
I will answer it.

How did your kid get so damn cute?

As to the thread, I enjoyed the last time I did it, and a lot has changed so I'd like to do the "ask lonestar" again.

My favorite Giant album is Free Hand... Favorite 70s prog album... That's tough. Probably Fragile by Yes.

I have no idea... But she's darling and keeps surprising me. She's insanely smart too.

And yeah when I get sick of this you can totally have a turn.

wolfking · « **Reply #15 on:** September 08, 2015, 06:04:36 AM »

I'm eager to know the answer to the Europe hair question too. is that Ian in the middle, the drummer? He is so proud of his hair, you can tell.

Another;

Do you find Kip Winger attractive?

Do you want me to post a sexy photo of Kip Winger?

What are your thoughts on Europe's refugee concern?

I think that's pretty sad that it took a Syrian toddler drowning to finally bring this crisis to light. Seeing that image always makes me cringe, not because of the morbitiy, but because of the reality that if I were there that very well could have been my daughter. I'm happy that some of Europe are embracing these refugees but some others are being so cruel to them they make Donald trump look like a saint.

I love what I do. However it's getting harder to say that every year. I hate the politics involved. I think it's ruining not only the education system but also the main reason for the mass increase of teacher burnout.
