Beautiful. Lucky swans they are. :)

I’m glad you understood the joke! Thanks. :)

Thank you, sweet one. I don’t mind being in the grays; I have written some idiocies that I appreciate are not disseminated to a wider reading audience. And, yes, I loved our first exchanges, and that I was fortunate enough to receive a photograph of the beautiful Randilyn!

No, darling. There are some days in which it is like this for everyone. I’ve had people slam me in the comments; and I could not shake it for hours. And I’m in the grays! No one sees my comments.

YES. A thousand times this. Even Malcolm Gladwell seems to do this, at times, in his review. The movie is not the book!!!

Exactly.

I read something, somewhere (yes, very specific, here) that purported that only 5% of adult Italian males knew how to operate a washing machine. When I reported to to an Italian friend, she snorted and said: I’m truly surprised that it is that high.

And with no sunscreen! No sunglasses! No hats! No water bottles! :)

I must be your mother’s age. This was everyone.

Beautiful you, ad infinitum. May all of your trials turn into great healing; may any tribulation be transformed into pure love; may all of your stressors melt in the crucible of infinite and abundant blessings. May you remember to breathe deeply, and may compassion and love and all good waves of energy saturate your…

Yesterday is feeling abandoned. :(
