Chronicles of JDL

A little background: I have a wife (Melissa) and kid (Jake)...he's 3 and talks very well for his age (he should, he practices constantly).

So good, I would have to try very hard to find something to complain about when it comes to java.

Welcome to the Chronicles of JDL! Glad you could join us this fine day...read on and weep.
