Thanks for the fresh thread, Dee!

My avi today is the only known photo of my teenage alter-ego, Mongo. Every year around Halloween he would come out of hiding and scare the neighbor kids. I had to banish him back to the jungle after he nearly gave one of the grown neighbor ladies a heart attack!

Have a great Friday, all!

I had a neurotic dog once who would have had a stroke barking her head off at Mongo!

Gilmer, re Greek vs. Hebrew -- they are so different! And to try both! That's a wallopping big lift. & it's not just the difficulty of new language-learning, it's the 'feel' of each one-- maybe you just don't like Greek much?

Anyway, I'm glad to hear you sounding cheerful today.

I've had an abrupt mood shift myself over the last few days, towards the good. Which is good! But it's a little abrupt and just a tiny bit extreme, so I'm determined to be quiet today.

Yes, they are different! I never in a million years thought I’d ever be looking back fondly at Hebrew!

I actually started out loving Greek, because the basics seemed so easy and pleasant! HA!

In all fairness, the professor did say in a recent lecture that mastery only comes through many years of study. The whole of my instruction is being crammed into a whopping 9 months!

So there you go!

Thank you all for your indulgence; I am officially done grousing about it!

I’m glad you’re feeling good, Cour. I assume by being quiet you mean “skulking around the grounds with a Mona Lisa smile!”

I must be a very sick pup. I laugh at fictional horror movies, especially the gory ones.

No new flies in my corner of the web. I'm looking forward to hearing how Fran makes the big trip home

Well, it was 116 days ago today that we nearly lost Fran in that horrific accident. The necessary ramps and equipment have been installed and, if all goes according to plan, she should be coming home later today! Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers here and please keep them coming in hopes that she will one day walk again.

Happy Halloween, all!
