I would like to leave this world like George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950 - do the math!) who lived through every major event of the last half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th, and was working on a new play when death rudely interrupted him. Maybe he's still writing somewhere.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-33831687056283879962013-06-02T15:30:33.974-04:002013-06-02T15:30:33.974-04:00Hi Sacchi!

Without the other thing, Tab A Slot B, doesn;t quite work.

I've never read Steppenwolf, though I used to buy all their records.<br /><br />Garce<br />Garceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-41985202270042273482013-06-02T15:25:43.594-04:002013-06-02T15:25:43.594-04:00Hi Amanda!

As I get older I find myself feeling grateful for every day that goes well, and remarkably so far most of them do. I'm very lucky in that way. I wonder how much of our luck we make?<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-35009829685708369692013-05-31T10:54:29.801-04:002013-05-31T10:54:29.801-04:00Daddy X, I do think that romance fiction is the pr...Daddy X, I do think that romance fiction is the prime example of the journey being the best part. Call it emotional foreplay, I guess.

I'm now wondering if you have said it all in this little vignette and may have rendered future posts on this topic redundant. As in Hesse's 'A Journey To the East', it's the journey we savor and how we feel about where we've landed. Then comes the future.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-76759326711425911892013-05-29T16:27:38.451-04:002013-05-29T16:27:38.451-04:00"We’re not special.
