Thanks for the thought. Matter of fact my regular mid-afternoon delight is tea ( best of all when I still have the remnants of Boh tea I always bring back from Malaysia).

I ...<b>Louis</b>, it is always an honour to have you over. I feel like pouring you some tea and handing out biscuits. Thank you for the birthday wishes. I had not intended to abandon this blog. I just thought taking a break from this one may be appropriate since all I seem to do is direct readers to specific posts in my Savoir Vivre blog. I have decided to update this blog only if I have something to say other than what is in in Savoir Vivre KL blog. And after Jan 5, I will be posting regularly here again. I agree that evolution is indeed very different from mere change. Evolution to me is at least partially conscious. You are aware of changes occurring and therefore you adapt, improvise and find solutions in order to deal with the new situation. Many things have happened to me in the past year, including some of my greatest fears, and I faced them and found that they were not so scary after all.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-69852704299402739712009-12-21T01:44:07.037+08:002009-12-21T01:44:07.037+08:00Thank you for the birthday wishes, Pat.

You're probably the only friend in blogosphere who is aware of what is going on in my life and the kind of things I am coping with, so your saying I will be just fine is reassuring indeed.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-26439071266931448832009-12-20T14:56:44.877+08:002009-12-20T14:56:44.877+08:00Hello Covert'78~

Everyone realizes that life is full of changes, but mere change is different from evolution. Is that, more or less, your thesis?louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724442924909561263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-442213340919836122009-12-19T19:03:04.409+08:002009-12-19T19:03:04.409+08:00A belated happy birthday, E!
