    Hi! Did you all forget? It’s the 4 th of November, Dan’s birthday.

    Hi! And as Dan loves hills, a short poem to him by Dorothy Parker:

    “The stars are soft as flowers, and as near;
    The hills are webs of shadow, slowly spun;
    No separate leaf or single blade is here
    All blend to one.”

  3. Dan says:

    Hey guys.

    Have you noticed that every year at the moving of our clocks
    for the Daily Saving Time. There are articles and articles
    On how terrible that is? Really!?
    For shift workers like me that’s nothing.
    Every two weeks I work the night shift..what about that?

    Thanks

    Hey guys

    I have to confess a sin of mine…
    Yesterday I stole N. 9 persimmons from the tree of my neighbor.

    In my defence, they hang from my side and I picked up their leaves.
    eh eh eh… they look delicious……

  5. Dan says:

    Thank you! Tania.
