Nor would I want to try. Even though I know it was hard for you, I do miss Christmas nights spent at your house. One small happy memory among many: your mom mortified by the fact that Mike Walsh gave everyone in his family a different Jack London novel for Christmas. Except for his grandmother. He gave her a gasmask. <BR/><BR/>"Outfits:" When her boyfriend Eric was dressed better than usual, my friend Lynn used to tell him that she liked his "outfit." It used to really annoy him. They are no longer together.<BR/><BR/>johnthe hanged manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705748701233182866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16549117.post-1134952999286436072005-12-18T19:43:00.000-05:002005-12-18T19:43:00.000-05:00I may be wrong but I think such robes are called b...I may be wrong but I think such robes are called burnoose(s.)
