      Interesting piece.
      Just browsing this thread and came across this. This is a good article, although I'm not sure it says what the link says it says. Take home point (which I completely agree with): As a teenager, having a few close friends is much healthier than being popular.

        • Sitting at the outdoor amphitheater in Bend, where it is currently 75 degrees. Not a cloud in sight. Brandi Carlisle concert starts in half an hour.

          Going to be a great night.

          • And true to central Oregon, the temperature has dropped 10 degrees, and Brandi isn't even out yet.
            Still though!

                She looks like she'd be a entertaining person... if not a little suspicious of my current work release status.

                • Yeah, don't cross her, she'll kick your ass. She has some nice biceps.
                  Highly recommended, Clack, if folkish rock is your bag. She has a good time with the audience.

                    Can you say... Harry Chapin? When I was 15, and all the world seemed to be crazy, and messed up, I'd listen to Harry, and it seemed all right again.
