I don't know anything special about the meaning of life, Coug. I am trying to learn like everybody else. I just think as I've gotten older it is clearer what the right thing to do is, which is based mostly on the Golden Rule. I am sure most of us learned that when we were very little, but it seems to make even more sense as I get older. I would agree with you that funly is really important. I'm not sure that is a word, but I like your concept. It is so easy to get too serious (especially with everything that is happening in the world right now), but laughing and playing are wonderful and actually benefit health, as I'm sure you know. I didn't know you grew up on a ranch. Do you still live on one?

The royal family has a special Tartan called the Balmoral tartan- it's illegal for anyone to wear it who isn't a member of the royal family. I know, given the Queen's fashion sense, that you will find this strange, but the Balmoral tartan must be one of the ugliest Tartans ever. Did you know Tartans are certified? New York created a Tartan for itself after 9/11- there was a lot of symbolism in it- I remember it had red and blue (for American maybe? Although I think there was another significance too) and then there were two yellow lines for the twin towers... I'm sure it's all explained on the net somewhere. We saw a really interesting program on the history and manufacture of tartans. I really enjoyed it.
