I would say that the film was an interesting tho' somewhat flawed interpretation. I've seen it 4 times (trying to find some good in it I guess and because I'm...
I put the wreath (and the other wreath I bought first but realized was then already too dry to be suitable) in my backyard fire bowl (you know, those round...

... No, not at all. They did. Sarmatia was on the southern steps of Russia, and so was far to the east of Britain. Lancelot would have needed a West wind to...
I haven't read them, but my wife did, and quite liked them. Mind you, they're HUGE books, and she is a voracious reader, so they suited her fine. ~Gary...
Oh, right! I always forget that, too. See, I get confused because we always shorten these days. A "westerly" wind and a "westward" wind are two different...
Chris sort of brough up an interesting topic that I'd like to expand on: Archery has, for years now, been a big part of my life. I have thought recently that I...

I'm sorry, Richard, I never even had a chance to see your previous message. Mind you, I didn't have an answer for you anyway... But now I'm curious. If you've...

So, any indication what this song is? Are any words given in this or another story? I find it especially interesting that this story tells of a woman prophet,...
