for me, humour is definitely the thing. I think everything else comes out of it. I had a wonderful friend in my college ;years and later - we lost touch when i came to the states and she went to australia - she had polio as a small child, and she taught me to laugh at myself. Years before i knew there was anything wrong with me. But she had such an infectious sense of the ridiculous... Rozanne wherever you are, i thank you In fact i hAve. developed a kind of a motto, which i carry in my head with me wherever io go, it is a misquote, but it suits me:" Laugh and the world laughs with you, Cry and the world laughs at you!" hilary blue > Rollin&Rosemary wrote: > > Greg: Sorry, the title was handed to us and printed up before we had > even started working on it.
