Hi
@Parsifal - you lucky, lucky girl - but I am simply grateful to have been born with a good brain and the ambition - very like Justis - to improve, to find out, to seek adventure and to never stop finding out, seeking.
What i find so intriguing about the English is that on the surface they are not as easily likeable say, as - say - some southern European nations, or the Pacific People - but once you get to know them, they are fascinating; they have produced so much in every field, and also in the realm of the imagination, those amazing authors, comedians, you name it - are English.
I didn't read the book you quote from, but have come across excerpts and believe it is something to be absorbed in childhood - lucky you - and to have such a Dad - mine was simple, good-natured, hard-working and never present on weekends (sleeping) but he loved my piano playing and was proud of me and it showed - that was enough - many people do not even have that.
thanks for sharing
Taurisk
