"Thin" is the operative word--you're not digging too deep in there when you form those snap opinions. <br /><br />And, yes--mood can make or break you. It's amazing!

I suppose decisions related to art are a bit more influenced by mood than, say, our decisions related to sports activities. <BR/><BR/>Blink has been on my list for awhile. Need to get to it.
