Merci, Laurie, pour ta très belle photo. Ainsi, on se découvre un peu plus et on s'apprécie. Longue vie à notre amitié. Peut-être que tu as trente-deux ans comme ma femme? En dehors de Zidisha, que fais tu de ta vie, chère amie? Vous étes la première puissance mondiale; est-ce que tu le sens dans ta vie...? Thank you, Laurie, for your very nice photo. Thus, we discover a bit more and we appreciate it. Long live our friendship. Maybe you are thirty-two years, as my wife? Apart from Zidisha, what do you do in your life, dear friend? You are the first-world power; is this what you sense in your life...?
