They're two a penny round here. Rather optimistically I was hoping to get a response from someone who does it for real. Another reason for pulling the post.<br /><br />Ellena: Detachment was what I was after, not submission. <br /><br />RW (zS): In fact the poignancy of the occasion was heightened by Zach's whispered disclosure to VR. "Nanna's in hospital but I'm not sure why. I think she has pains in her chest". Later he did her a Get Well card, then wondered if he should buy flowers for his visit to see her this afternoon. He didn't seem satisfied, any more than I would have been, when told about the new "No flowers" policy in hospitals.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-64774029317439313752013-04-06T21:03:38.685+01:002013-04-06T21:03:38.685+01:00Now that I dabble in geneology, I realize that the...Now that I dabble in geneology, I realize that the adults around me protected me from crises and funerals and illnesses, etc. I look at the dates of the events in question and see that I was 6 or 7 years old at the time and wonder why I have no memory of the terrible event. No doubt I was given a comic book, which was seen as an addiction then much as a Playstation is seen as an addiction by adults now. It seems we are all beholden to the times, for better or for worse.
