  Glad to have you back .

  These forums need you

  Back in september a Christmas wish I made.
  A brand new set of golf clubs before next year I played.
  Then on Christmas morn, with my eyes I spied
  An oblong box under the tree, with ribbon wrapped and tied..

  I'd like to thank you for these clubs, I wasn't sure that I would get.
  He said your welcome son, but Christmas isn't over yet
  I kept my head nice and still checked my stance and grip.
  "Nice shot" said the bearded one, it's hanging on the lip.

  I looked in the mirror and what did i see

  But a stranger    looking back at me.

  I asked that stranger who was he

  The stranger replied that he is me.

  I said how is that as I am I

  He said you and I forever and ever.

  Forgive  me Phred, I think you missed the point. I've shared that experience, we didn't have a dog, but it was Dad's way of 'Saving Face' so that he didn't have to beg the Butcher for a bone to make stock soup (Bone Brooth) to feed his family. Times were hard in the Hills of West Virginia during the late 50's and early 60's.

  No I got the point.  I was also a child of the 50's raised in poverty.  It was just a joke to lighten the moment.  Had Simon, our Korean friend told the story I would said local dogs were better as the Army usually served powdered dog.
