i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.

Cough, cough...just happened by a cyber-friend who lives in Athens railing about her country's bankrupt condition while the rest of the Western World tries desperately to figure out just how to bail Greece out of its own greasy frying pan. Why the Greeks are crying in their home made soup is beyond me. I've been to Greece and Crete, beautiful places. Nice climate. Stat for Italy, Spain, the list of mismanaged countries is a mile long. I can say one thing about them all, with a straight face. Canadians didn't get them in the mess they are in. We are trying to get them out of it. And are the ones who are going to pay the price, individually. ::: Will people never learn that the cost of personal greed is bankruptcy? That blindly following the "leader" and doing it again and again and again, is passive suicide. ::: Greece the center of civilization. ::: Can't spend all of Eternity resting on those laurels. ::: Rome wasn't built in a day. But when it burned, it burned fast. And Nero, demanded his tear glass, and played fiddle. ::: Fuddle duddle.
