Slow but sure gets there in the end. I remember watching a documentary about the source of the Nile, couldn't believe the source, it was just a small trickle of water. Enjoy your weekend Sara. Tom

When change is forced upon us, we will just rebuild the past. In order to be accepted, real change comes slowly. A most brilliant monoku, Sara. Enjoy your weekend, my friend.
