What does that mean? Hello or welcome or something along those lines... I'm not too good at the multilingual thing but I hope you feel welcome nevertheless. This is my strange venture into the techno-world that is "Blogging." Quite bizarre at times--but I'll admit that I do enjoy it. I guess that is the plaguing curse of the writer: must write at all times, even if it's random, bizarre, and meaningless to the rest of the world. Face it: this is the closest to scrap-booking I will ever come!

Ode to Good Friends

They're hard to find.

And though we lose some and gain some, our
separate ventures never separate love,
though far, they're not forgotten.


Thank God for dear,
dear friends
whom we can call family...
