My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet all those old friends who were at the birth of the 'beat generation' in England, such nice people.I'd like to meet the poets and singer/songwriters, artisans, artists & craftsmen who's art, and often joys, sorrows & pain has touched me or moved me or taught me something, just to say "Thank you, you're not forgotten nor un-appreciated".I'd like to sit again drinking rice wine with old head-hunters and dance again with the village maidens when the Twist was all the rage, even in jungle clearings. And to sit again eating curry & rice by hand with old Gurkha soldiers and share their friendship and good nature.And of course, I'm always delighted to see my son, Ru, 29, a good ol' country boy, Cornwall Style. Into his work, his sports, his games and his toys, and the best thing that ever happened to me. I am intensely proud of him and love him dearly!

A Guys Size and the Size of his Truck

I don't subscribe to it myself, but you've all heard the tales of a guy's size, or lack of it being in direct proportion to the size of his truck................. but what I'm wondering is..............
