I am so glad I passed your Gordian Knot (wow an Ancient Greek reference, I may also be educated huh?) test for me. As for your nod at the time of my posting, since you "have been around the world" as you say you may have heard there is more than one religion to be affiliated with. Maybe I am Jewish, maybe I'm Hindu, or (gasp) Muslim??? Or maybe I went to the sunrise service at the Free Will Baptist. What you did at the end of your post was to judge, and the great and merciful Savior this day is in honor of would not approve. It's even wrote down in a book, it's pretty long, small print, pay extra attention to the words in red(they are important), and you can find this instrument of salvation in the bedside drawer at your local Holiday Inn. You enjoy the rest of your holiday good sir, and I look forward to our next encounter, hopefully on something related to high school sports.
P.S. Your not the only one who has been around the world, nor the only one who can still recite the troop leading procedures or quote from the Ranger handbook. You just never know who is sitting on the other end of the keyboard.
