As we wonder slowly away from the founding concept of
the GZG site....

I found myself in the position of the favorite 
leaning post/chair of a group of six year olds 
today, a high point in my  life, first grade is
MUCH more fun the second time around.

As I am sitting here, sucking down the fourth 
(small) glass of 'Costa dei Limoni', I find that 
being the 'favorite leaning post' of five small
children is a high point in the journey of life.
(one is sort of a problen child and the other four
are just cute, mine in particular.)

I now return to the normal GZG channel destruction.

Bye for now, 
John L.
