Hey, Tal...

I just want to say...
being in a reflective mood,and , tending slightly towards the pessimistic...my thoughts did a very quick hop. skip and a jump over so many things I could comment on. or submit for discussion, and, as usual when I am in this (reflective-pessimistic) frame of 'mind' I recall a young fellow I met in Alaska many years ago. He was a serious, and studious type---and was in poor health, had a slight physical deformity which he hated, and also had been diagnosed as diabetic. Yet, we found a lot of subjects that interested us , in spite of the fact that I ( a senior ) was more than twice his age I realised that in his short life- so far- he had had some interesting experiences and also some most interesting ideas about life in general. Finally, one day I said to him, "Garth, you ought to write about all this, you have a lot to tell people " He was able to smile a little, but only replied flatly " Nothing new, it's all been done,said and written about by others". End of story:
So now I must jump into "optimistic " gear and see what sort of a Cheer-Up narrative can be related next time : However there is a hidden message in Garth's statement Did you get it ?

The next is on the 30th, and it'll be a blue one, as it's the second of the same month.
A rare occasion indeed
The lunch was
Tabitca was great company and we did justice to the meal, fresh Grimsby haddock and chips followed by a toffee fudge sundae
For a first meeting, we talked liked we were old friends catching up, and I hope to visit her in her hometown sometime soon.
Welcome M=^=^=CI hope I typed that right!
Afor your friend from me.
