Oops, I forgot a note on double ten day. The date Sun Yat Sen sent the war lords packing in the early 1900's and started a more modern China.

It is important holiday in both the mainland and Tiawan.

More recent event was my birthday on the same date, but a lot later.

In celebration we ate out a a Chinese restaurant.


My standing joke is which ten is the month and which is the day number. Seems that a lot of the world uses day, month, year rather than the US custom of month, day, year. There are eleven other months that can claim doubles, of course.

I buy that.. But a woman can not be happy with any man if he does not love
her.. Maybe thats why its the woman who in most cases are the one who walks
out of relationships.. Hmm... thats a thought really.. ;-) I think i learned
something.... lol

Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

Albert Einstein

. . . OM - 'Behold the Man' (Remember?)

. . . His time travel experience is so radical and life-changing (to him personally, I mean) that he begins to lose track

of when and even who he really is. Under the circumstances, this is understandable.

But it also serves to undermine his credibility. Is he really a time traveller?

Or has he finally severed all connections to reality, living out his days in a scenario

created in his own very rich, but obviously very disturbed, imagination?
