Recipe for a Happy New Year
To leave the old with a burst of song To recall the right and forgive the wrong; To forget the thing that binds you fast To the vain regrets of the year that's past; To have the strength to let go your hold Of the not worthwhile of the days grown old, To dare to go forth with a purpose true, To the unknown task of the year that's new; To help your brother along the road To do his work and lift his load; To add your gift to the world's good cheer, Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.

Thanks. The day after I sent that email, President Bush
came out and expressed support for Rummy. I knew he would, and was GLAD to see it.
And "AMEN!" to all you posted there, too! :^D

Well, getting back to this a day late.
*sigh*
Had an odd image/dream stuck in my head the other night, and am currently drawing it.
I hope it turns out.

I don't denote any humor in these goofy questions you've been asking ~ just because you've been lied to, don't think everyone else is a liar.

Thank you.
I'll need to scan it once it's done, or scan it as it sits now.
*shrugs*
I'm not even sure I can finish it since the image in my head is odd enough to be hard to 'relate' down onto paper.

Hey Seven,
I must admit that your Tag Line has baffled me for some time now. Today I read that an actor passed away. I never knew that fellow's name, but I have seen him around in movies and TV over the years. Honest I still do not recall his name.
One of the articles mentioned that he played a television character named Lennie Briscoe. I have never seen that program, and perhaps I misread the Obit. I did think of you and your Tag when I read about the bio.
