As your teacher, friend, fellow addict, I feel obligated to expand your horizons. Most of you already know about the quintessential LOST website--www.4815162342.com You've rambled around the General Forum (and perhaps others, as well) and have been alternately inspired and bothered. Let me hasten to add that, unless you've been in the VIP forum, you have not taken full advantage of this site. Membership in the VIP forum is only $14.95 a year and is worth three times that much. In this forum you can always be assured of intelligent discussion. Among the members, who have become good friends of mine, are:
a fellow, who just graduated from Princeton and is now doing post-doctoral work at Harvard,
a young lady, who is working on a PhD in chemistry in Scotland,
a fellow who is finishing up his PhD and is going to work for NASA,
a computer programmer in Brazil, whose posts are nothing short of brilliant.
In the VIP forum, there is a Role Play which has been going on for many months now. The first guy in this list is writing it. It's the story of what you would do if you were lost. We've (yes, you know I joined in on this) created our own characters and have interwoven our story with the "real" story of the show. New players enter all the time and I think you would find it a rewarding experience--at least those of you that I know like to write. At the very least, you should join VIP. If I were smart enough to send you a link, I would, but I don't know how. (Maybe one of you could give some instruction on this, please.) But VIP Forum is right there in front your eyes, when you log on to the Numbers site.
That's my two cents for today. Well, okay, I might have two more cents later, since it's spring break and I have time to think.

I have got to get on that forum! Perhaps in May after the school bill is paid....
Aye, when I am not relegated to a weekly budget of $10, maybe I too can create my character.
Oo, here we go. I shall be the wizard Ramsgate Ironside. I shall have magical powers and an inexhaustible supply of fireworks that I always ride around with.
Or Joe. Joe would be good too.
