Thank you for such wonderful words, Honey. I have to confess, the forum and my pages are there for a selfish reason. They attract you and all the others who come here. I thrill to see my friends visit and mourn when they don't come back for even a short time. I gain much more than I can ever give in return and I thank all of you for that.

I especially want to thank Honey for standing in the middle of my bed one day, laughing maniacally while sticking glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling above my bed to beckon me to dreams and new worlds of wonder to explore. The experience of watching her put them there will always be with me and there will always be a special smile in my heart for that memory. Thank you.

As Honey knows firsthand, my insanity is the only defense I have against the madness of the sanity with which I must deal. When I learn that I have made one of you laugh, or even pause to think about something I have said, I am made richer than any middle-eastern oil potentate can ever dream of being. Of late, even with these pesky health problems, my life has been made richer and fuller than it has ever been. I can finally say that I am content and the stars shine on many nights with dreams of elephant rides and jousting knights interspersed with lusty wenches instead of nightmare days and nights of even more distant times. Each of you has made those new dreams pleasant experiences I eagerly seek now.

The windchimes sing a song to me of hope and gentle memories of ladies of wonder, men of value and thoughts worth thinking. Again, those are gifts you folks give to me with your attendance and participation here. My music is the songs my heart sings to tell everyone who has passed through my life how special they all are to me and how greatly appreciated they are. They sing of my hopes for each of you the joy, happiness and contentment I wish for each of you in your lives.

The laughs we share are our way of winking at God and saying, "We're doing as well as can be expected and thanks for asking!"

And, Honey, the HTML is simple. put < b >< H1 >(without the spaces) in front of whatever you want big and follow it with < /H1> < /b > (again, without the spaces). That way it looks like this...

You're HOW Old, Lion!!?!?!
