You not only manage to uncover unbelievable detail regarding your subjects or subject matter, but you make it DAMNED INTERESTING.No, not interesting but rather hypnotic. Your words create a trip that no drug or substance on the planet could come close to matching.

I'm very, very much looking forward to chatting with Frank, if he decides he wants to chat with me. Anyway, as a favorite teacher once taught me, we're only temporary custodians of everything we own -- moreso something with such symbolic and historical significance.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-1149377463482832492006-06-03T19:31:00.000-04:002006-06-03T19:31:00.000-04:00I applaud you, Sir, for your efforts to find this ...I applaud you, Sir, for your efforts to find this gentleman.

Most of my colleagues used every holiday as an opportunity to explore outside Japan, but I used holidays to explore the country in more depth. So, I've become very, very familiar with Japan but not with other places in Asia.<BR/>I really want to visit Vietnam, though.
