I hope you enjoy Horatio Hornblower! I loved the series and always make a point of watching it when it's rebroadcast by A&E.

Love the photo, and love what you've done with it.

Regarding trust: it's such a slippery thing. I know that when I just go with whatever it is I'm doing, I'm able to move into that childlike state which for me is absolute bliss. But, that state is so easy broken and I think once it's broken, for whatever reason, it's really hard to find it again. Pie helps, and I guess it's a delicate balance of nurturing that childlike status without indulging it - not that I think you're in danger of that! In fact, I wish many hours of finger-painting with words for you (if such an idea is appealing).

Anyhow, there is my rambling reply of the day.

And how does one make cheese popcorn?
