Do you still exist, Sinister? Moreover, do I? Why silence?
I'll quote, if I may... "Cogito, ergo sum" (Latin: "I think, therefore I am") - Rene Descartes "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln I have, at least on Sinister, followed Honest Abe's tenet scrupulously for a long while now but finally my operation has been completed and I have had my scruples surgically removed! I'm glad that sinister is still alive and kicking (occasionally like a Croatian penalty taker!) and after Gillian's query I decided to type a quick missive to reassure you all that: Yes, I'm still here. Yes, My badges (when I wear them) are always upside-down. Yes, I'm still in the same job (nearly 10 years - a new record!) Yes, I'm happy and healthy and neither wealthy nor wise and Ooh! I'm getting married! (I'll not bore you with the details but a good part of my decision was "If it's good enough for Struan...") Some of you I have kept in touch with "off-list" (albeit with varying degrees of success) and some of you, to my eternal shame, I have not. My bad, mea culpa and oops: I suck at keeping in touch, rest assured that when and if I see you it'll be just like old times ;-) I have just read this the customary three times, I'll hit send now and go watch CSS on Jonathan Woss. Calumn PS - I just thought I'd mention the fact that I'm still in love with Aruni J's Sweet and Sour Tofu (http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/arunij.php#tofu) although I have to admit to substituting chicken for the tofu, it all tastes the same anyway ;-) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
