Thanks. You've helped me look at it in a different way. That's the beauty of blogging.<BR/><BR/>Lights,Yeah, people are always more interesting that places. I discovered at an early age that the most interesting snapshots I took always included people. You can only look at so many landscapes.Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838683246636045823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1137034712744539552006-01-11T18:58:00.000-08:002006-01-11T18:58:00.000-08:00I'm sure the old guy suffered from the same angst ...I'm sure the old guy suffered from the same angst that I, and perhaps others, are haunted with, and that's relying on your own appreciation for what you amount to when it seems others have no appreciation for it. To blow your own horn always seems to stink of arrogance, thus one is restrained, and saddened by it. A sad side effect is that you tend to crave, yet reject, any validation that happens to come your way. That crazy old hemingway look-alike left you with something, Tim, and you're acknowledgment of it, sharing it with us, perhaps gave him something he needed, even tho he may never realize it. Bob will convey it to him one way or another, and I personally thank you for it, as one who for some strange reason thinks he knows where he was coming from, even from the depths of his madness and melancholy.Alex Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877845166621794334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1136940997096374032006-01-10T16:56:00.000-08:002006-01-10T16:56:00.000-08:00Well Lauren, I'm sorry that those were the best 10...Well Lauren, I'm sorry that those were the best 10 days of your marriage, but at least you'll always have the BVI's.

It was a glorious 10 days... the best of our entire marriage.<BR/><BR/>(sigh) Oh, for a Red Stripe on a balmy BVI day...Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800378357373358997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1136937055458149642006-01-10T15:50:00.000-08:002006-01-10T15:50:00.000-08:00Thanks Gina, just remember those seven little word...Thanks Gina, just remember those seven little words!<BR/><BR/>Shandi!

It reminds me of...Tim, that was a fantastic story. It reminds me of what I learned from a homeless person at the bus station. I still live by his words.<BR/><BR/>He turned to me with the remains of a burrito he found in the trash bin. He told me how much it stank. "This burrito really stinks... there's something wrong with it... maybe it's old... maybe it's bad... I just know it stinks to high heaven." Then he said... and I will remember this forever... "Do you wanna bite?"<BR/><BR/>Hmmmmmm... I declined. But, I learned to always listen to warnings... sometimes they come before the invitation to try something new. :)Naughti Biscottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954505278010003963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1136930402296779872006-01-10T14:00:00.000-08:002006-01-10T14:00:00.000-08:00THAT was one fantastic story Tim.
