---Cool!
* Marlene, your wife, she has a French name. ...I used to go with a girlfriend for three years (from 1976 to 1979), and her name was also Marlene; she was French Canadian (Alma, Lac St-Jean, Quebec).
...She was big time into Dancing and Travelling (we did a lot of that, among other 'trings').
Right now I live next to a Ranch where they teach young people how to ride horses, and jump.
There are many ranches like this in my area (a paradise for horses among other animals; birds, eagles, hawks, howls, sheep, cattle, rabbits, whales, chestnuts, wine, flowers, etc.).
Anyway, that ranch is right across my left front view, so I can enjoy the most beautiful looking horses every single day.
I am a happy man from my surroundings, and good friends.
Plus all the things I learned in life. And music saved my life once or twice.
I am no longer married, so I am totally free (have few girlfriends but they aren't living under the same roof as I).
Nice getting to know you better Dan. :b
