Happy again to read the posts here (a bird hit the window a while ago - hope it wasn't flying with the message from Proto ...). Yup I'm wounded badly but I'm always keen to be part of the solution (vs. part of the problem). Worryin' didn't ever make anything happen, so no time wasted on that.

No, reading someone's post - I don't think Brian is feeling easy and free - I think he's feeling plenty enough pressure and is working his _ss off. I met and talked with him a number of times this Fall and his schedule and the intensity of it all would kill me in a month. Highly talented and with his very good team just doing everything they can to make it work. I am not boosting - that is my real impression - just some honest guys trying their hardest. We have little control over what gold the powers that be put in the ground, or bloody market psychology. And if the banksters hadn't bankrupted the US, the gold juniors would right now still be reveling in the sun - the general collapse was really unfortunate timing for us.

Desiderata and all that. At least we have some decent "prospects" in more ways than one ...

Right now I'm eating blueberries lovingly hand-picked in Northern Ontario, and there are none better. There is always something to be grateful for.
