I have all of Joseph Conrad's stories and essays; I am in the middle of Lord Jim. Conrad is a great story teller and when he writes about the sea, trade and the far East, of which he is very...

I never sausage a meal:happy:

Take medium toasted white bread, immediately lather with butter, let sit a minute, then lathe creamy peanut butter(the oilier the better). Nothing like it.

Your tongue?

So, where's the sign that says "may contain nuts"?

Ditto for me, throughout my life I've gone from Kodak Brownie (very fuzzy B&W's), to manual focus Minolta 35mm, to Nikon F and F2, to Super Baldax 2 1/4 square. Several Point and Shoot to my Canon...

Hey, I haven't been around much, but nobody noticed:Confused2:

Hopefully, your house insurer is on board with your move to roof mounted solar cells. A neighbour wanted to invest and distribute them, because the province was encouraging it, but the insurance had...

Unlike hockey.

Hmm, I've got a charity you could donate to. Just let your Mom take you to a surprise event.

You might enjoy the overture of Wagner's Der Fliegende Hollander (The Flying Dutchman); for me it captures the sounds of storms at sea(reminds me of my years spent in the North Atlantic). And this...

Danse Macabre - St. Saens; and Song to the Moon from Rusalka - Dvorak, which in my mind inspired Somewhere over the Rainbow; the same plaintive chords, I think.

A 'brief' should be big enough to just fit into a briefcase.

John

I can only imagine the thoughts that go through your mind, different, likely, each time you walk there. When I had the chance to visit the Canadian cemetery near Beny sur Mer in Normandy, the first...

This is my Sekonda bought on-line a couple of years ago; in great condition and CLA'd it works great.
