My feet have trodden the earth in more than 30 countries. I have seen the sun rise over the Persian Gulf and the sun set in the Canadian Rockies. I have sunbathed by the Mediterranean, roasted in Riyadh and dined in Damascus. I was beggar-besseched in Bagdad, shortchanged in Saudia and saw blood shed in Beirut.
I have been called Mister, Monsieur, Herr, Sayyidi, Kirios, Signor, Sir and other names.
I have eaten with Bedouins and dined with Royalty. I have also been rich and I have been poor.

Would this be the lifetime their love would finally be allowed?

Winter Solstice ... once again the darkest day on earth. Now we can look forward to each day for the next 6 months to be a lil brighter than the day before.
I have thought about you and Ron both, hoping everyone is well. I miss the old days when message boards were sane =( I went back to the AS, but not posting much. I doubt if it will ever be the way it was. I hope your wife had a wonderful birthday.
Sorry to hear about your computer virus problems. I've been offline a bit myself, but here's wishing you a great start to the new year. We haven't had much snow in the UK as yet... but I hope we have some soon! How I love that white stuff... Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2008. Abdul
