Back to Korea
The time has come the walrus said, to talk of many things: Of flag officers and managers Of cabbages and kings. Of synonyms-like drunken lemurs.

An inconvienent truth……..

As I have rapidly discovered in the past couple of days about the only sites I can… Continue reading Hyperbole…….

You can check out her resume here and here and here. ( for research purposes only, you understand). References can be… Continue reading Not the brightest bulb in the lamp…..
