Anon, A thousand apologies..I had no idea there was a response pending that I really should have gotten to sooner. I haven't been on Sajha threads much of late..other than screaming my lungs out at the ongoing immigration debates in the U.S on both Sajha and Samudaya, I'm terribly sorry for the oversight on my part; nevertheless, I hope all is well with you down in Aus territory. Now that the games are over, I imagine you have some additional spare time on hand...more time to make merry! :-) Commandant, Quite a missing act that was..you'd give Poor Blaine a run for his money!...too much of something is never a good thing- that holds true for the endless footsie playing sessions too you know :-) Ah the foray into California. Hectic like none other but still managed to have a very good time with my sister and her friend in San Francicso--and yes, there was quite a bit of havoc wrecking to be had--with a trio of single women out on the town, trouble can't be far behind now can it? :-) The months ahead are going to be busy ones. I am heading into the final exam stretch ..yet again..the agony of it all !!...I have what is supposed to be a three month break from school but will be working with a law firm in Seattle the entire time; therfore, no real break as such. I plan to try and squeeze in a short jaunt to Munich somewhere in there....so..looks like I may need a lesson or two in juggling! As for Lochinvar--he was the knight in shining armour that all the ladies waited for...only, looks like mine got felled in battle or a duel perhaps...I shall never know but that certainly explains the fozzilised love life :-) :-)
