That's why I still act like a kid most of the time. :) Nice one my friend.

Thank you, Chris! … And now I see the difference between you and me: You act like a kid; I don't have to act. (Ha, ha. A little humor---very little, as they say). :) :) Best always, Gershon

So true ... Then again, to know the heights of joy/ecstasy, we have to sample darkness too...

Oh we do indeed Gershon, such a shame that we have to eventually grow up. (or do we. ? ) Tom .

I can only speak for myself here. I don't think that I ever grew up 'completely.' I'm just as idealistic and naïve as I was at age 18. Well, almost anyway. :) gw
