Pansytilly, Glad ye liked this. Interestingly, did ye know Walt Whitman, the great american poet, during the civil war - had the occasion to actually write political speeches for Abe? I'm sure in their times they sat t'gether in the White House and went over his speeches. Why is it in the here and now I can see them together back there in a room reviewing Whitman's suggestions? Be well, Pansy, tommo / Ireland

You have a very imaginative mind, tommy. One that is in touch with the past...and a way with words that conveys it well.
