Hi Curt, Lovely to catch up with you! I'm safe where I live. We had fires and lots of smoke here about a month ago. Properties and animals were lost but not on the scale as in the other states at the moment. So good of people to help out and I hope they raise a lot of money for the fire victims. It'...

Nice of you to say so, Hartmut!

hi bev. everything ok with you? Yes, thank you, Geoffrey! i noticed that the strongest coffee had stiffened up, almost like tar. i dipped a brush into it and tested it on card paper, and lo and behold it was real dark.

When Leonard was touring in Australia in 2009 we had a terrible bushfire in Victoria, 173 lives were lost and the destruction to properties and wildlife immense. Even though he was still getting on his own feet financially he saw it in his heart to donate $200,000.00 to help the victims - https://ww...

Thanks, Jarkko! I’ve not seen the recent Words of Love film but I’m glad I watched this “another” one! What an infectious, warm personality has Marianne! No pretensions here – so down to earth! Even though I only understood the English spoken parts the feeling of the whole film still comes through. ...

Thanks, Jarkko and Eija for all your seasonal greetings! I’m directing healing thoughts to Eija and as always, her ice creations have a most welcomed cooling effect where I am. Hopefully, I will make it reciprocal with this image and send everyone in the grip of a Northern Hemisphere winter, some wa...

Hey you guys,
I'm not ignoring you and I just wanted to say that I've been really busy lately with Christmas stuff and other things happening. So forgive me, but my brain is not into dissecting or discussing this album at the moment. I'll see what happens later

what an utterly joyful message, B4real! :D thank you! sorry, i mean Bev. My absolute pleasure, Geoffrey!
