I've been sitting around like the village idiot reading a book called "Classical Music: an Informal Guide." At this very moment I'm listening to "Handel's Largos." I quite like the music but I prefer to think of it as "Handel's Lego" so I don't feel so intimidated. I like to think of Handel as a boy crouched on the floor, building something up with blocks, little holes and pegs.

Nice. Handel too.
Are you yourself constructing something now?
Oh, yes yes yes. I may even cut and paste this to Tim before it has a chance to disappear.
Helen: I wouldn't mind a treehouse but first I need a tree.
Jeez; if that's what the village idiots read, what do the intellectuals read?
I will send you a Manitoba Maple. Would you prefer one with or without a squirrel?
I'm up to my ears in squirrels around here!
Mrs S, you make me laugh (even if it is at someone else's expense). Thank you.
Is there any other way?
Point taken.
