Seeing the troops arrive back in Dover, after a long campaign fighting the Boer in South Africa.

A modest Brandy was 3 shillings and sixpence, and a woman of the night was anything from two shillings to a guinea, depending on your preferences.

I don't quite understand the function of this key. What purpose did it serve?

I will anxiously await an explanation.

I like your new Arab look, Setanta. Do you also have a caravan of camels?

Phoenix, I too remember not being able to wear jeans to school and they were the uniform in Tucson after school.

Do they still have parades for Lincoln and Washington's birthdays? I was in the band--we had to play, stay in line and, since the parade didn't allow and motorized vehicles, we also had to carefully watch where we stepped.

Remember sneaking lipstick to wear at school?

Jean Nate cologne.

Is that really you Setanta? I thought it was a picture of a Pharasee (sp?) from "Jesus Christ Superstar".

Yeah, my Sweetiepie girl took that pic a couple of years ago -- she refers to it as "Moamar Setanta" . . .

I'm gonna look around for a towel and my digital camera so I can join Set in the exciting world of the Arab.

Be right back.
