We are all but sand in the egg timer of life. sad24:

But we are each single grains in someones oyster my dear old dog.  ;)

You can tell a man that boozes
By the company he chooses
And the pig got up and slowly walked away
Yes the pig got up and slowly walked away


Shame about KW tho' ~ I've enjoyed his column for many years.

An unusual place to welcome someone (since we're usually mourning the departed) but hey, welcome!  ;D
