As Ursula pointed out in my post, Pravin has thrown a curve ball!<br /><br />Having read your post and Ursula's comments, I have decided to write to both of you with an idea that I have.Rummuserhttp://rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-48206051812607970402017-12-01T06:39:40.774-06:002017-12-01T06:39:40.774-06:00My dear Shackman, as so often you leave the field ...My dear Shackman, as so often you leave the field wide open as to how to comment without writing an essay of mega proportions.<br /><br />When I hear "intoxicated" one meaning springing to mind is not necessarily one to be desired. Neither is obsession. Though dare say we all obsess over something. I can't bring myself to say it out loud but, currently, I most certainly borderline obsess over one aspect of my life I can't do anything about. Not so much the fact itself, as its fallout. One guess, Shackman. Don't.<br /><br />Fantasy? Definitely my favourite in your bunch of three. Yes, where reality grounds, fantasy takes fancy flight. Imagination knowing no limits. Dare say, a cousin of "hope", and an offspring of "future".<br /><br />LBC disbanding? Now there is a "surprise". It's been shrinking for years. As to marketing the joys of the LBC and recruiting new blood, it's been an abysmal failure. On applying a couple of times I was reminded of the Masons. How does one join a closed brotherhood? No idea. Blood?<br /><br />Anyway, it was good whilst it lasted and hooray to good old Ramana, one of the founding fathers with stamina to match, and you, for keeping up the good work for so long.<br /><br />I shall miss what has become my Friday morning's reading but dare say the two of you - under your own steam - will continue to come up with many a subject to discuss. <br /><br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
