So how old is this guy anyway? I know I'm at least the same age as
Keith Richards....and, if this fellow is still playing ball, he's
probably in his 40's, right? I guess that definitely puts me into the
joke zone as well...and no, I haven't seen cuskynoles up close and
personal...at least not the ones made in period.
Kiri (feeling a little older these days...especially after a discussion
on the Atlantian Kingdom list about our Principality Coronets, which
have gone missing...sadly!)
