We envelope ourselves in the comfort of doubt and reject reason, but surprise ourselves at the inevitability of time and its wake. Time is our great betrayor. Time guarantees nothing but its constancy of passing.
Time will not tell nor heal, it just is. It is vacuous in its infinite vastness and only as relevant and historical as we allow the paths we chart toward self-definition and perspective.

I have no clue what happened? I was writing to you asking how things are going, what you are up to, and making age comments about our friends JG and the screen went blank. Maybe he is so old he ascended to a higher existance and wammied my Myspace. Way to go JG! Give up all of the virgins just so you can haunt us on myspace! LOL! Karl
Ivan way to go! Get the dates locked down and let me know. You wouldn't be able to mention it to anyone. You and Karl have got to get together on something. He's easy! Just offer him an old refrigerator box in the alley behind someone elses home. That way he could eat of off them and save you a small fortune. Just offer sushi every night and he'll be hitting the Jack In A Box everytime!
