Hello From Tasmania Australia
<t>thanks for all those welcoming notes...I hope to drop in here occasionally in these middle years(65-75) of late adulthood(60-80) and old age(80++), if I last that long.

ALLY MCBEAL, 1999 and the Feminists
<t>In the last few hours, since my last post, I was reading the following about the music/soundtrack for the film Titanic. The words were in The Chicago Tribune:<br/>
