I guess congratulations are in order.

Whether for you or your family will remain unsaid

No offense taken. I just have a faible for the sea, have been on different ships mostly privately (apart from military time), but the best was always sailing during holidays. I could look at the horizon forever.. so this 'motto' is initially a quote from Rod Stewart's 'Rhythm of my heart' Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing. Never found a better one

Seriously i don't know whether to congratulate, but i hope you can do what you want, just don't get into trouble; or not more than usually

Are we going to start quoting the book of Supply Side Economics?

Cuz, maybe we'll get it right in another sixty years.

Well Gorpet. I'm not sure if they know you escaped but I won't " rat " you out and I haven't seen you, either. My suggestion is you pull out the Dyna Wide glide and ride like the wind.

Seriously, glad to see you are among us.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

((The Lord of the Rings isn't actually a novel, but a trilogy)
