The muses are at rest. Meanwhile, I'm hanging out at <A HREF="http://www.chezjeaux.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Chez Jeaux</A>... which you named. Come and see.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Gill, the "cannabis" is actually a false aralia, or what folks in the plant business sometimes call "false alarm." ,oD<BR/><BR/>Well, yeah, life is temporary for a reason. But I always remember what Tennessee Williams said... "Everybody wants eternal life, but they want it here on earth." But then, I believe the gospel promises something like that in due season.Jeauxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09489419756833657839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023983883868915002.post-60320271802182922009-01-27T20:10:00.000-05:002009-01-27T20:10:00.000-05:00I'm clicking my heels together Joe to no avail. <BR/>:(<BR/>I loved the new additions to the slideshow, the cannabis, the Harley, and the banana peel left for dead.<BR/>I love your statements. <BR/><BR/>***<BR/>I thought of you a few nights ago. I went to see "We Will Rock You". It was neat, kind of artsy, and didn't take itself seriously, thank God! But the singing, Joe! The singing!

You're so savvy.<BR/><BR/>When the power window on the pony started acting up last year, I knew it was just a matter of time. We live in an electronic age, but I have always admired well-made purely mechanical things. I still have a working camera that doesn't have a single electronic part in it, a thing of beauty.
