    Singing any part of “I got a brand new pair of roller skates” at any time in any room of my home will inspire violence and hatred. I know – I’ve tried it many, many times.

    Why, Alek, that’s my 1979 haircut — and color. You do look happy.

    But I wonder about the figure on the right — an older girl? A woman? She’s not dressed for scrambling about the boat, is she?

    Oh, Alek, you are beautiful! And your intelligence is present in your young face.

    Your jaw looks perfect. Was this before or after you fought the boys who were abusing the donkey?

    You’re lovely, Alek!

    Tracy- ‘i think that we could live together in perfect harmony…’
    Sheila my jaw still looks ‘perfect’ it clicked back but this was before and before i broke my nose. Claire, on the right is about four years older, but maybe she didn’t like being taken out of school and sailing a catamaran from England to Greece, though i don’t remember her being unhappy, just older
    Cindy – i like being in the presence of giants
    Amy, thank you! you made my day
    sailing is about the best thing a person can do

    Claire was very silly if she didn’t like being taken out of school and sailing a catamaran from England to Greece. I hope for her sake that she got over it.
