I adore travel and adventure and have lived, for years at a time, in both India and America, as well as other countries.

Things are never so real as when they touch us, or someone close to us. While she does her bit to fight for Obamacare, I told her to balance that out with.....,reading.

John Donne
“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

My cat would argue that I love books, but adore him.....he might be right.

I just saw your note. Hmm....dog spelled backwards is you know what. Cat spelled backwards is tac. We need something fancy to call ourselves, wouldn't you say?
