[Magdalen] Time is -- uh ....

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I HATE it when I can see it from the highway but can't get to it...

San Francisco is especially bad for 'guessing' that an exit will take you to 
something that is so close to the road it seems like you could touch it, you 
exit, and voila!!! you're headed somewhere else, with no exit in sight or 
one that will not enable you to head back the way you came from ! : (

Lynn (once lost in in a bad area of downtown SF at 3am, when I did such an 
exit... plane late and very very tired... thankfully an uneventful journey 
finally arriving safely on the far side of the city)

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
