I will be making the rounds later today to your blogs.<br /><br />In keeping with the spirit of Flash 55, the disclaimer is also 55 words (and also the spirit of verbiose legalese, where disclaimers are as long as or longer than the documents).<br /><br />Brian: Was she smiling? Not only was she smiling, she was dancing and skipping through fire hoops, as shown in the picture.<br /><br />Alice: Yes, karma is a force to be reckoned with but, even so, it can always use a little "aiding and abetting".Lorenzo — Alchemist's Pillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522265816460154722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-64952637770052889912010-05-21T12:27:52.176+02:002010-05-21T12:27:52.176+02:00A man has to go but keep it warm baby...
