    Just venting

    Several of the critics and letter writers made valid points that I am only going to reiterate here for the sake of getting it off my chest.

    1) There was a time when my world and Howard Stern's world did not intersect in any way. That was a good time.

    2) I collapse on the couch at night exhausted from working and raising small kids. I'm numb from the neck up. I watch American Idol. I have neither the energy nor the brain to change the world. Apparently there are lots of people out there who have lots of energy and great confidence in their own intellect. To those I say: please do something of real value.
