and they always say how the holidays are supposed to be a great time
to relax and unwind....YEAH RIGHT.

I heard on the radio on my way back up into this winter wonderhell
(through a snowstorm that started the day before I left and hasn't
stopped yet - typical) that in some survey, 41% of the respondents
sat at home with the telly. another 23% watched videos at home. neat.

why is 30 such a dreaded number?

you had to spend Christmas alone? you shoulda hopped a plane...
I'm sure someone here woulda loved to have had company...

Well unless my memory fails me, I think there was a 60's era singer by
the name of Joe South (I think he sang "Walk a mile in my shoes" and "The
Games People Play").

"East" is a lot harder. Would you accept Clint Eastwood and Shena Easton?

Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of
romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as
there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.

		-Charles Kingsley

The words of Kingsley suggest that if there are those without love in the
world, and if being without love is wrong, the age of chivalry and the
spirit of romance are not past, but with us today...

Or are there those who feel that being without love is not wrong...

Indeed...

This knight was indeed a valiant gentleman; but not a little
given to romance, when he spake of himself...

Again, best to all as the New Year rolls in...

	Maybe the "charm-light" is producing a bit too harsh a glare for her

for a little while, until she decides what she wants. From you, her, and a
