Dragon boats race here as a fund raiser for breast cancer. Another good reason to love dragons. Loved the Virginia Woolf quote, thank you.

Cloudia -- Looks like a baby puffin penquin, but that just can't be. I'm confused, pleasantly. Maybe I should sit with the old man and absorb some wisdom. The dragon boat scares me, and I think I saw that ritzy mustang when I visited. I think they're together. DrumMajor

Cloudia said...

Each of you gives me a gift and I say:



"WOW Thanks!"
