Thanks so much for the warm welcome! Yes, Flak, it really feels like family here. Tomorrow I will prowl the local bookstores in search of "Real Bryce World". Thanks for the tip, hyperborea :-). @ pidjy, I hope to someday soon visit France. Some of my relatives in Trieste, Italia have been there and they loved it. I grew up in Trieste. Have you heard of it? A beautiful city by the sea. @ danamo, it seems Loreena is perfect for any mood. Hauntingly beautiful, inspirational music. It pulled me thru some very rough times. Ironically, Metallica seems to also have a calming effect. Strange but true. Guess my neurons are a little twisted, lol. That's where my "art" steps in and helps keep me on an even keel. I look forward to sharing. Thanks again!
