"That's the same Tennyson poem you quoted the last time... " it is lines like this that make this the only forum/blog I regularly read. Forgive me for going OT, but the cast of characters on this list always makes me smile. It is the most civilized, whilst opinionated and curmudgeonly forum I can imagine. A lot of ourselves is exposed in these notes, but it is almost always carefully handled. This could be an essay but I don't want it to be. I did want to say that I have enjoyed another year with you - and I am grateful for that, Be well all, time is always short, and time with friends, family, and a bike is precious. Bob
