Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi Jo As you can tell I am a bit behind in my reading the group. I blame Peter, he keeps distracting me offline going on and on about astrology and Freemasons and all that. But I did want to comment on this post! I hope that when I am even a few years older, I have the same spirit, attitude and open-mindness as you do now. You are still young, but as we age people tend to get more withdrawn and tighter into their set ways and I do not see that in you at all. You have such a beautiful mind and I'm glad you share it with us. Ok, that's twice now I've been nice this morning, I must need more coffee.
