Sincere wishes for a great 2012 for you Marty. I look forward to your posts each day here in Ireland , and hope that whatever changes are afoot -that your friends and admirers can continue to share in your daily travels. It's surely a great effort on your part. I reckon you are a mighty man with an iron constitution. Most of all I admire your dedication to the task at hand, also your embrace of black, yellow and white, also your evenhanded dismissal of ignorance. The coffin and crypt await. Let us live well and enjoy these precious days. May you live long and well. Many thanks. Dannyboy

How do I stay so healthy and boyishly handsome? It's simple. I drink the blood of young runaways.
