Just Call Me Duke
since the post count caught up with the age. at least it was when i wrote this. who knows when you read this.
i read. big surprise there. lots of books, many large and awkward to move about so i spend a large amount of time at home. i have been able to get a lot of them in electric form and put a lot of them on the sony reader. this allows me to get out more often than before as it rains a lot here and the first order is to protect the books. kinda like asimov's three or four laws for robots. it is funny that the avataqr does look a lot like me. again this is at the time this is written. the future will chage. i may change the avatar or i will age. either way the avatar and i will grow apart. so good wishes and all that. pour anothe coffee and enjoy anothe good cigar. life is for living and enjoyment. everything in excess. |

I'll be 50 next week and yes life is for enjoyment. It's crazy that many thing won't let you enjoy it peacefully. I guess first in line is oneself.
Cheers Duke! Last edited by yvanleterrible; 03-30-2007 at 04:02 PM. |
