You write very nicely. I was...Well, this is lovely. You write very nicely. I was one of the people interested in "random things." Hm, funny how that works out. Anyhow, your writing is very nice, with a wonderfully poetic feel to it. <BR/><BR/>I also like Thai food... There's a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant where I live that's practically as good as home-cooked. Well, it basically IS home-cooked, that's why it's so fabulous. <BR/><BR/>And yeah, speaking of random... rubber cups? my finger? A rather cryptic and unexpected comment indeed. :)I can't remember what all I've written and where. <BR/><BR/> -MH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039083068156090399.post-28372852947652460562008-05-14T17:47:00.000-07:002008-05-14T17:47:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.wcgillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364390980378931271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039083068156090399.post-38215886407972388232008-05-14T17:34:00.000-07:002008-05-14T17:34:00.000-07:00Randy, that made me cry.Now you are the one with t...Randy, that made me cry.<BR/><BR/>Now you are the one with the words that touch my soul. Beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Part of your post made me smile, thinking about a recent email I sent my son. If you've never read, or watched the famous "Wear Sunscreen" speech, please Google it. You won't be disappointed. Hell, here's a link:<BR/><BR/>http://youtube.com/watch?v=xfq_A8nXMsQ<BR/><BR/>But the nostalgic aura of your writing reminds me of this part of the speech:<BR/><BR/>"Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders." <BR/><BR/>Seriously, go watch that video.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing this, it was touching and beautiful. Made me think of my own dad, who served in Vietnam.<BR/><BR/>Damn, I need to go call my dad, now...<BR/>:o)BizyLizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538971707304185980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039083068156090399.post-90184170869817399512008-05-14T17:05:00.000-07:002008-05-14T17:05:00.000-07:00That is a wonderful tribute to your father....Prid...That is a wonderful tribute to your father....Pride was strong back then.....I graduated from high school in 58 and the one thing we had was respect for the President, our soldiers and our parents......and it seen lacking this day and age.....great post Randy...... judyJudypatoootehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772772712062934968noreply@blogger.com
