romance died when people started managing time.

they made schedules, and mapped it out.

they invented all sorts of machines to save time.

they hoarded it, and lost it, and found it, and used the extra time to.... 
make more schedules, and more machines.

romance is a luxury, which is why i don't believe that it really died (i was
fibbing in my first sentence).

you have to make romance.

you have to stop and smell the roses in your lover's hair.

romance is not something that just happens; it's extending that which is lovely
and beautiful in you to other people.

the only way romance could disappear or die would be if every single person in
the world would lose the loveliness and beauty that defines the human heart.

i am safe in saying, then, that the day romance dies is the day that love,
beauty, sorrow, pain, tenderness, caring - all of these die...

Wow... Puter... I'm so relieved that the accident wasn't serious.  I had the
same reaction when my mom called to tell me my younger brother had been in a
car accident, but like your wife it wasn't too horrible.  *whew!*  It means so
much to know that you have a "second chance" to make sure those around you
know you love them... thanks for sharing this.  *hugs*

Hey Kris!  What are you trying to do?  Start a Family-Feud?  I dont'
think we could handle the Truth or Consequences of something like
that!  I could put us all in Jepordy!  To Tell the Truth, I would not
look forward to it.  But if you Double Dare us, I don't think we could
let it pass.  So, I guess what the $64000 Question is, is that what
you really want?  Concentration real hard on that, and get back to me.

Nope I can't, but you've finally got round to the reference - "Rubber Biscuit"
as performed by Jake, Elwood & Co.  The explanation comes earlier in the 
number [dons shades and pork pie hat to recite]:

Have you ever heard of a ricochet biscuit?

A ricochet biscuit is that kind of a biscuit that's supposed to bounce back
*off* the wall and in-to your mouth.

If it don't bounce back...

People you go *huuunnnnnnngggrrrrry*!
