This is so funny Paul. Truth and reality walk through this piece boldy and proudly; and yes Paul, you have gone where no man who has a funny-bone has ever gone before. Thanks for making me laugh out loud. Loved it. Now I think Ill have some Campbell's alphabet soup, and after that, go over to MacDonald's and sit a spell, and of course, eat. Life is . . . isn't it.

Nice meeting you this way.

Surreal?! Sounds like my most lucid train of thought on a GOOD day, Paul! I have trouble knowing whether I am ever now, then, or somewhere in between most of the time. And why not?! Life's a lot of fun when you can view things inside-out, upside-down and back-to-front, I find! Thanks for this reminder that extraordinary is special and great! Nice box of delights, here! Kate x

A tad surreal, perhaps, Paul, but very humorous, and very good!

PS Don't feel bad; at least you still have your old wing tips; one of my dogs ate mine.
