When we stand before an object of Antiquity, we see a part of how our history has been written. <br /><br />Samuel Clemens was a smart man. He certainly likes you, Roland. Perhaps it's a reversal of the roles of McCord and Clemens? Just musing. Hope your stitches and you are healing well.<br /><br />D.G.
