It’s time we move off the railroad crossing, and go forward. “Plaintiff, 63 years of age, engaged in buying and selling oil…

Two months ago I met Vicki and Drew in a fanciful land on Everquest. I looked like a grey-haried Danish King whom I name Wolferose. This name is derived from my study of the name Hrothmund a character in Beowulf. “Rosamund, Rosamond, Rosamunde, Rosemonde is of Teutonic origin, having been formed from the Old male…

“Every fine day Rosamunda walked the hills, seldom seeing another living creature other than sheep, or, very rarely, a doe or faun.
