And also Happy Birthday to my wife! Today I have a special gift for her, and I believe for the rest of you. I guess to be honest I need say that I am actually "re-gifting" it. The neat thing about this present though is that it's one I can give away and keep at the same time.
Life is a funny thing isn't it. Some things you understand, some things you don't, and some things, just are as they are. That's why I'm not going to try to analyze why my relationship with my brother Bill has wandered back and forth over the years. I'm just gonna accept that right now, I appreciate it very much for what it is.
-------------------------
Apparently Peter is running out of things to say as he needs to recruit everyone he knows to fill in his empty space for him. Hard to believe I know! Unlike peter I cannot babble endlessly so I will just ask one question and maybe all you scholars can shed some light.
My question
Why?
-are we on this earth?
-was I born into a family of 12 children?
-do some people live to be 100 and others 1 day?
-are some people stricken with cancer and others never sick a day in their lives?
-do teenagers think they know everything?
-did I have 3 children and only get to raise 2?
-do I go to work every day?
-do some people believe in god?
-out of almost 7 trillion people on earth are we all so different?
-don’t we live to be 200?
-do some people amass lots of wealth and others can’t afford breakfast?
-are some people addicted to drugs or alcohol?
- did I meet Heather?
-is Cory the oldest of 12?
-do some people not enjoy the luxury of clear vision and others do?
-did our parents settle in Canada instead of Aruba?
-do I have an old trophy sitting on my shelf that my dad won 33 years ago?
-are some elderly people left in hospital to die on their own?
-don’t I keep in closer touch with my family?
I could go on. Unlike my brother Peter I am not interested in “putting my inside on the outside”............... or have I just done that?
Love Bill

Good Job Wim.
Love Old John
I don't think even Teresa knows the answer to that question, but I'm very impressed that you asked it!
None of us know the answer Bill, how could we, we're all idiots!! And, yes I think you did do just that. My question is; "would our lives be different, better or worse, if we knew the answer?? I think not. Great post.
Dear Bill
It was really nice to hear from you, especially with something so important. I would love to see more of you...
