Continued from issue #17 April 29, 2010 Some very early documents indicate that the visitors would come along the path, singing their songs of peace, and carrying their pipe with them.

It broadcasts your peaceful intentions (because stealing silently up to the village could easily be misinterpreted). Where the messengers are single...

When you have kids you really can lose touch with friends. Especially if they have some of their own. I find that time just gets away from you. Before you know it the week is over, and sometimes the whole month. It seems that way for me anyways. Little Brother is so busy and Big Brother now has sports. Making plans to meet up almost always falls through because if the kids don’t have their schedules going full throttle someone is sick. Last week was pretty tiring. Little Brother got a new tooth every day for six days straight. I couldn’t ask...
