Thanks (to all). I am using Learing C# 2005 by Jesse Liberty. I
really just want to make things "right" this time. I know I can
make it work, but not always "right." Yes, I know those are
subjective terms. I think perhaps looking at some good OOP open
source was a good idea too. Hopefully, I can find good
stuff...somewhere. I also went to your blog. Did you make that
link cloud, that is, design it?

I've never been a big fan of Mr. Liberty myself but to each his own.

Can you recommend an author on OOP that I could look at. C#
shouldn't be required. Thanks.

I liked Robert Martin's first book, and I expect his second is better.
Arthur Riel has some good stuff in "Object-Oriented Design Heuristics".

I looked up Riel's book. Sound good. I found this comment in one of
the reviews. It is exactly what I have been trying to say:

"This book really showed me that I was stuck somewhere in the middle
of the paradigm shift between action oriented programming (aka
procedural programming) and object oriented programming."

(http://www.amazon.com/Object-Oriented-Design-Heuristics-Arthur-Riel/dp/020163
385X)

Another great book, (not OO per se) is "The Pragmatic Programmer" by
Hunt and Thomas.
