Seven Things

One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.

Seven things.

Just as a point of interest, that thing you do, where you put only your quote of the day above the fold, leaving absolutely no clue about what the entry to follow is about, so that I can't remember which ones I've read and which ones I haven't...?

I'm against that.

[Tina]

Hey, Simon ! The little guy sure is getting grown-up looking. Hope all is well with the wife and baby number two. As for the tag ..... I'm gonna go to work on it ! Tina

[Mark]

I'll work on it. Can't say mine will be a whole lot different from yours, but I'll try not to crib too much.

[Hazel Hazel]

"Love you forever" is at the top of my favorite book list also.
