文章 Rock »

It's good that the great couple showed up in the pouring rain. The discussion ran smoothly with David's strong hosting, too. We had fun and learned new things. Attendees were: David Jr.(host), Kooper & Gloria, Rock, Light, Katherine, Sabrina, Julian, Danny, Jason Jr., Vincent, Leon, Neo.... who else do I miss? :?
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.
