Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTDAY, AMOS From: Genie Date: 13 Sep 02 - 01:17 AM Bobert, I just noticed the thread title in detail. Shouldn't it be either "Happy Birthday, Amos" or "Happy Birtday To Youse, Amos?" Genie *BG* |
Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTDAY, AMOS From: Amos Date: 13 Sep 02 - 12:56 AM Pooka: How beautiful!! Thanks a ton! And it isn't belated out here on the Left Coast! We remember the past because we have put it on automatic --Those remembering machines keep all the correct amounts of blackness in place and the pictures well-filed! :>) And if we were completely free we would create endless futures, pasts and presents with equal abandon. That of course would be much too upsetting for most people to live with!! The reason we don't remember the future is because we like to pretend we haven't created it, and it will surprise us -- again, automatically . No reason not to practice increasing your powers of creation on both fronts! A |
Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTDAY, AMOS From: The Pooka Date: 13 Sep 02 - 12:34 AM Whoaaaa, I've been Offline lately & missed this! Well, albeit belatedly, Happy Birthday to be sure to be SURE, Amos my recently-found Mudfriend! & manymanymany more! In the summer of our lifetimes, the skies were always blue, We'd weave our dreams with noble thoughts and dreams could all come true, *Believe in all your youthful dreams, and they'll live on for you,* When the grey October clouds go drifting by. - T. Makem

Other than that I won't disclose any family secrets -- except that by 1963 you had thoroughly mastered the fine art of getting into trouble (could have charged admission and given lessons), and had even put in a few years on learning the guitar! mucho hugs, little sister |
