    17. June 21, which is the longest day of the year, is still one of my favorites
    (because it's the date of our Country Wedding in New England, years ago).

    Were you and your bride Druids?

    18) I think one of my wedding days was also on June 21st...or was it the 24th? AnywayI think one of my wives was a Druid because she wanted pots and pans for wedding gifts.

    Moi, Nah. Just a Swedish/Boston Lad who was given the Keys to "The Hub of The Universe" (a few years after Oliver Wendell coined the memorable phrase). "Evelyn" was descended from British Royalty (from her Paternal Grandmother's Ancestry).

    How about the lineage of you and yours?

    Of all sexual deviations, the worst is chastity.

    Methinks Great Big Stees should consider keeping a long, sharp pencil with a big
    rubber eraser attached to his "GBS' Daily Diary with a strong elastic band. (gb)

    21. We thoroughly enjoyed our six glorious years as residents of Houston, Texas, USA! "Don't Mess with Texas" signs were strategically placed near highway rest areas for all drivers from other, less courteous states to see. Texas is a Country.

    We're not Druids.

    By the way, Oliver Wendell called Boston "The Hub of the Solar System."

    Well whichever it was he was wrong because Torontonians (I'm not one) say that that bit of trivia belongs to them.....oh wait not the solar system or universe, just Canada...ooooops.😳

    Any opinions today?

    Yes I have an opinion. I think my two daughters are wonderful and I
    am privileged to be part of their lives. They are currently 22 ( in August )
    and 19. My eldest daughter rang me today just after 5 pm and told me of
    her university results.

    She has received a first class honours degree in Business and management
    and will now have BSc. after her name.

    I'm so proud I could scream. I hope this recession which has bitten
    Europe so hard passes soon so that we can all live fruitful lives again.

    I am divorced and live alone. Some people have described me as
    Howard Hughes but without the money.

    My two daughters are the only positive aspects in my life.
    Long may they prosper. My life is for them.

    Johnny, the cup of my kindred spirit happiness for you and your daughters is literally filled to the brim. Father/Daughter Relationships are like none others in the world. A photo of my own daughter appears as my avatar today. Though Heidi's a bit older, imagine the time the three of them would have together in a Ladies Evening Out on some worthy town. (Bobby)

    Thank you for your kind thoughts. There will be a celebration soon.
    This will involve me and my two daughters.

    Then later the graduation ceremony which will take place in November.
    I do not like crowds but I will be there to celebrate her achievements
    along with her classmates. Hats and robes and scrolls tied up with
    coloured ribbon. Speeches and accolades abound.

    I truly don't know how I will handle it all given that I am not used to such
    wild gatherings. My life is very ordered and not given over to spontaneous
    events.

    You're a many faceted man. I'm beginning to discover new ones each day. Most things of value are hidden. The wise have learned how to hide the most precious in plain view. At times, it's like having known each other long before Red Hot Pawn.

    I speak three languages, Irish, English and French.
    My father's side of the family was French, my mother's Irish.

    My friends call me the Polyglot, because of the languages.
    But others call me the Polygon, because of the many sides
    to my personality.

    The one thing they all agree on is that it would be easier to
    see the President of the United States of America than it
    would be to see me.

    Because of OCD.

    Among other things, I'm intensely interested in the experiences that contributed
    to your brutal self honesty/candor and passionate love affair with languages.
