There's no other forty-three year old who I can give them to. (Did you notice that I am harping on about your age?

As Floyd (the pink one) put it so succintly<BR/>One runs and one runs to catch up with the sun but it's sinking. Racing away, to come up behind one again. The sun is the same in a relative way but one is older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Intended, no doubt, to highlight the fact that the passage of time merely draws one closer to, what is that word Jeeves uses, ah, got it, quietus.<BR/><BR/>I'm planning to spend a week in Mysore this time instead of the Riviera, and I hope to inflict myself on your society. Cheers and have a good vacation.
