It’s all those places that you’ve never been to, like Timbuktu or Tierra del Fuego. I’m instantly thinking train travel and Phineas Fogg. <BR/><BR/>Good for you for getting piles of stuff done! <BR/><BR/>“God is in the details”<BR/><BR/>Marilyn.Thetoymakershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405265800595978197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-1142490609624397242006-03-16T01:30:00.000-05:002006-03-16T01:30:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Thetoymakershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405265800595978197noreply@blogger.com
