Bernie - Of course, you won't argue with your Mother. You wouldn't dare. What do you think about the Da Vinci code whose write claims Jesus was married to Mary Magdelene?BTW, my husband, who was a minister with his doctorate, told me if he went before me, he'd come back and tell me all about it. However, he's been gone 29 years and I still haven't heard from him. Don't know what that person would do about remembering or forgeting, but I would probably forget to remember. Best to you.
