stan~ too bad about microsoft, eh? can't live with it, can't live without it...(or was that "can't shoot it"?)

(the bike story and) J's response is priceless. don't you love when they reflect those wonderful things you taught them? it seems like sometimes they're only reflecting those negative tweaks that i just can't get rid of... then wham! they nail you with something so pure. good job mom.

pedro~ all good then. not hitting wife in any way shape or form, so put the leather glove away and quit biting your thumb at me;)

Hola Pedro! Thanks! It was fun catching up with you via your website. Intriguing, thought provoking, and enjoyable. Looks like you're doing quite well. BEAUTIFUL bride et all...Is that ok or did I cross some invisible internet boundaries? CONGRATULATIONS anyway:) Is there a different address for Ake's web site? I'm sure you're aware unkleake.com gets you nowhere.

If someone (who has the means) could send word to Ake in the UP that an old friend would like to make contact... tell him to come to the diner again, it's been years... Don't know what the exact protocall for these internet meeting grounds is, let me know if I'm outa line.

The "heart" is a mysterious realm.
