Also, I seriously believe that we have but one life to live and that we create our lives by the decisions we make. Each day is special and should be shared. It is much to easy too lose awareness and closeness in today's society where everyone seems to be so rushed and impersonal. In fact, Christophe and I have chosen "quality of life" as our motto and often remind each other of the importance of making the most of today and making an effort to meet people and share ourselves. This is one reason I've printed so much of our lives on these pages in hopes that people with the same understanding might respond and instigate a discussion that may lead to something surprising and positive.  My other main hobby is learning French. Although I have a few French pen-pals, few are tolerant of my mini-vocabulary for long. Any volunteers?
