Now that's heart breaking. A little girl crying on the steps and her tears freezing. Is the lousy bastard still alive?

Have you read Bernard Cornwell's Excalibur series. The Winter King, Enemy of God and Excalibur. Lots of romance. May not seem like it at first but love does conquer all in the books. Even if it starts a lot of things though. Local library or used book store should have it. As a kid I liked to...

History channel is going over all the Sharpe episodes again. They had a new 2006 one the other week. I got all the Sharpe books and have read Wellington's biography. Fascinating fellow. I never realized he was PM.

Taking care of myself is just a recent thing. Before the HA the four foods groups I ate from was chocolate, sugar, caffiene and fat. Plus a pack a day of coffin nails. Oh yeah, I also get acid reflux and docs took me off caffiene too.

Not perfect, not by far. I just survived a heart attack in April. Lucky I live 2 blocks away from one of the best hospitals in NA. My bypass surgery was done at the University of Western Ontario hospital, here in London, which is one of the premier cardiac hospitals in the world. I lost my mum...
