He finally figured something out for himself to do, to " keep my hands out of trouble. " He puts his hands in his pockets, and walks off whatever it is that make him want to pick at something to begin with. He figured this one out when he was 22, and it seems to work for him. Besides, no one looks askance if they see a tall man with his hands in his pockets..... Annie, who loves ya annie@... -- “If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you.
