Please do take care on the road yourself. And thank you for your encouragement as well!<BR/><BR/>Dearest Mentok, it does seem like there have been quite a few blog casualties, doesn't it? Physical legs are intact, though must say I ran a spell on the treadmill today & they hurt like the bejeezus...<BR/><BR/>Dearest Nats, I think you're right reharding the Halloween costume. Dearest Wife & I went to a party as Sid & Nancy a few years ago - no-one knew who we were. I despair...<BR/><BR/>Dearest T, I gave the AA intro a miss - not sure they'd have appreciated that humour. And I've stopped shaking now.<BR/><BR/>Mon cher ZB, je suis ravi que Ndidi te plait (puis-je te tutoyer...?)<BR/><BR/>And Dear Lori, thank you so much for your comment, kind words, and invitation. I took you up on your offer and had a brief visit - most enchanting stuff! I will certainly return and browse more fulsomely once I have the leisure to do so.<BR/><BR/>I do so love blogosphere serendipity...FiLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744819120424789247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-1159147769019512752006-09-24T18:29:00.000-07:002006-09-24T18:29:00.000-07:00FiL,We've not met, nor do I see any blog-connectio...FiL,<BR/><BR/>We've not met, nor do I see any blog-connections other than that most random one -- someone went from your blog to mine, and my Friendly Stat Counter told me.<BR/><BR/>But I really enjoy your writing style, your choice of pics and drollery, and your tune-selects.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and judging by your links you have great taste in cheese.<BR/><BR/>Am hoping your adrenaline levels have dropped to normal since this post (public speaking and aquaplane adventures are both rather scary).<BR/><BR/>Come by mine if you'd like to see photos and other creative activity almost as random as my stumbling across your blog.Lori Witzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744273435691506484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-1158981764845825882006-09-22T20:22:00.000-07:002006-09-22T20:22:00.000-07:00So...How did it go?So...How did it go?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-1158868175521806192006-09-21T12:49:00.000-07:002006-09-21T12:49:00.000-07:00Hi,just to say, I didn't know NDidi now I doand th...Hi,<BR/><BR/>just to say, I didn't know NDidi now I do<BR/>and there's one more ray in Ikhtonia's sun.

It's not much fun to have to deal with a skid and it can leave you shaken up for ages... so take it easy for a while.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the presentation. You'll be fine. You could always try the "Hi, my name's FiL and I'm an alcaholic.....woops wrong meeting" it usually gets a giggle from thse that understnd the quote. But your new countryfolk may not have the same sense of humour as they do on this side of the pond so be careful! <BR/><BR/>TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-1158778208473198892006-09-20T11:50:00.000-07:002006-09-20T11:50:00.000-07:00If you dress up as Robert Smith, just think of how...If you dress up as Robert Smith, just think of how many times you'll have to EXPLAIN who you are!!

Easily distracted.<BR/><BR/>I really liked this post...great writing, and funny, and sad, and everything inbetween.<BR/><BR/>Plus, The Smiths and The Cure in one piece. ;)<BR/><BR/>How wonderful!<BR/><BR/>I hope your speech comes out beautifully, and everyone afterwards says, Wow, that was the best speech I've ever heard in my whole entire life!! And then they’ll smile at you and be so jealous, and you’ll be so happy, and not nervous or panicking anymore. <BR/><BR/>In other words: I wish you all the luck in the world. :)<BR/><BR/>Happy Wednesday,<BR/>~ AshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-1158745843550324032006-09-20T02:50:00.000-07:002006-09-20T02:50:00.000-07:00Yup.
