Thanks. I was under the impression that the Macedonia Phillip inherited was much larger than that yellow patch, will have to recheck my sources.
Good for you, Boka! You were a reader. Me, too. We grew up in the era before the internet, and I have to say that even though I adore the internet and find it useful on many levels, I’m glad that when I was a youngster it wasn’t around. I read voraciously. (That’s how you get blessed with a good vocabulary!) Seems to me that it always becomes obvious when someone is “well read” as opposed to someone who isn’t.
Of course, I’m also glad that instead of being at the computer all the time, we youngsters spent a lot of time outdoors, regardless of the weather. It was a healthier lifestyle for kids. I wouldn’t trade it for a fountain of youth today.
Books are treasures.
