    This is one week that I loved all of your quotations...especially Anne. It brought back memories of my visit to her house. I do not think I will ever forget that. Your second shot has to be my favorite. It is calling me to come and go swimming in the frigid waters. Hope they warm up a bit by August. We are about to book our tickets. genie

    Isaac Asimov has always been one of my favourite authors, and these words are as correct now as when he wrote them.
