She had used some material I have on my long-running website, The Comanche University of the 49, modified it in an exceptionally keen way (that's Oklahoma speak), and I found it by a web search. I wanted to e-mail her to tell her how great a job she had done, but realized that in order to do so, I had to create a Wiki account (do you see the hook coming?) Next thing I know, I am being asked to help out. How could I say no? So, here I am!

What I'll mainly be doing is assisting Phaedriel on Native American information. I am used to developing web content in HTML via programs like Dreamweaver. I've already noticed that Wikipedia does things VERY differently. You mean I actually have to TYPE my commands??? So archaic! So, I have a lot to learn....please be patient. I don't how often I will be able to help as time is one of my most fleeting resources, but I'll do what I can. While Sharon and I are both Comanches, she is real nice and I am not nearly so...not even close. The same Comanche Grandpa (I'm assumng Sharon!) that said to her, "a grain of kindness is all it takes to turn thorns into flowers", usually said to me, "Behave yourself son."

[edit] Promises

• I promise that my writing/editing at Wikipedia will not have the "edginess" that my writing at The Comanche University of the 49 has.
• I promise I will continue to work on this (every now and then) to make it something with a semblance of usefulness.
• I promise not to use Comanche language for the sole purpose of making you think I called you a bad name when all I really said is, "Do you want a cat?" (Don't you love run on sentences?)
• I promise not to use commodity cheese as a doorstop.
• I promise I will not make fun of "Cherokees".
• I promise I will follow the lead of our beloved admin Phaedriel and not embarrass her -- too much.

[edit] Last Thought

Write a note sometime and say hi...I promise I don't bite. Oh, man....THAT WAS A PROMISE....IT'S IN THE WRONG PLACE! WHAT DO I DO?
