The 90 minutes I'd allotted for lunch ran to 2.5 hours, and when I dropped someone off at their office where I used to work I poked my nose in to "borrow a cup of sugar" and left there a 5pm, just in time for a dinner date. Dinner turned into a stroll, dinner, stroll coffee, then our significant others finally called our cell phones just before 8pm, and we both had to rush home.<BR/><BR/>I guess a whole day of talking (except the 2 hours driving) stopped me doing.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434318898333768620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-12677493181629135342008-09-12T07:03:00.000+00:002008-09-12T07:03:00.000+00:00"a friend of mine from many years ago would always...<I>"a friend of mine from many years ago would always talk very enthusiastically about these fantastically promising schemes he had cooked up which would make him rich."</I><BR/><BR/>I wonder... how many people are there who DON'T know somebody like that around them?

It is a valid question. Do you believe that such a person only dreams but in reality has no ability or at least aptitude? Or is it as simple as mental laziness or some other hidden emotional anchor?Dale R Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09996560000820887768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-61169567395821104092008-09-11T16:13:00.000+00:002008-09-11T16:13:00.000+00:00You only have ONE camera?
