Herr Professor . . . Ausgezeichnet!! A quite wise and very true Epigram. Love is always important. It is so marvelous to have you back with us. I've missed you, your poetry and our many intellectual and thought-provoking discussions. A "Seven" here for sure!! And Ingrid and I are hopeful that things will get better soon for Greece and the people. We hope you and you family are okay. Best Wishes for the Weekend My Friend!! Gary

True. Hope you're bearing up. The news from Greece has reached my faraway country. Should it come to that point, sire, there's always the soupmail. :-)

The treasure you are referring to, my brother, is incomparably glorious: LOVE, and with this I mean, as you certainly do, Christian love!
