Yes, beautiful photos and a wonderful adaptation of a beloved hymn, Rhiannon. I could hear the tune in my head as I read along. The first four lines are gorgeous, in particular. Very nicely done. Paul

That Michael Douglas movie is "Falling Down". Perhaps just as well that Alfred didn't go off the rails quite like what happens in the movie! Good to see Alfred doing the right thing for him and still thinking of others (giving lifts) even when he...
