Be Careful...

...what you wish for.

There was a time when I quite relished the prospect of becoming an eccentric elderly Englishman. Mel occasionally reminds me of the fact, because now that the eccentric nature is a fait accompli, the English identity established by birthright, and the elderly bit not too far ahead, I’m beginning to wish that the bottle I found on the beach all those years ago had been empty. Genies have a most mischievous way of chuckling.
