Well, I WATCHED the Beijing Olympics, does that count? I hike... I like camping, caving, but nothing competitive, except maybe SCRABBLE! Am I losing you...? Oh, wait, I WAS the Badminton Champion in High School! Woo-hoo!!!

World Peace, an end to Hunger... Yes, I'll accept that Pageant Tiara now (LOL)! On a more personal note, I am excited by Inner and Outer Space - my dreams are fantasmagorical scenarios where EVERYTHING is possible and transformation is the norm. Colors and Feelings and Smells are fluid and vivid, a veritable "Carnivale" of sensations! "Step into my parlor," said the Spider to the Fly; "Enter my dreams with cautious abandon, and you WILL be rewarded," say I!

Immediate Response: When you insist there is no way to prove beyond a doubt what's Real, you make me mad, I have to say; I don't believe that's how you feel. While you might speak in metaphor and lapse into soliloquy, the Truth with which you sometimes bore underlies my hyperbole. Reality is an accord; to speak at all, we must agree that we have struck a common chord: what's Real to you is Real to me. The Truth is that I want you to love me, not wonder if it's True.
