Captain Stormfield, Neville?

Captain Stormfield was a character invented by Mark Twain. He was a paddle steamer captain who travelled to heaven on his paddle steamer. Twain wrote tons of stuff about the captain, and it all became a huge jumble. Eventually a book was published entitled "Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven". Check it out. It's a great read.

There are moments that mark your life. Moments when you realize that nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts, before this, and after this.

Did you read about the woman in China who gouged out the eyes of her six year old nephew, left him and his eyes lying side by side in the park, and then killed herself?

So she left him alive, with his eyes gouged out, then killed herself?

She obviously didn't want him to witness her suicide . . and was too upset to think of a blindfold.

Or could his eyes still see?

That what will never come again? Your birthday? :D

You're up as early as a 41yr old, anyway.

Happy birthday, from me and all the girls.

Cheers, Marty
