The real question is what does "technically alive" mean ?

Technically alive includes so-called "athletes" like Usain Bolt who now take at least 9.70 to run 100 metres ! Leonard beat that mark well in to his 70's. That Mark got pissed off and fought back.

what a lovely picture. the restaurant owner looks bit like Bob Dylan

thank you for this well sketched piece

Cornwall is that place
and Geoffrey has smuggled a light skinned face

and glasses of rum below
and Leonard in-trenched coat

Five unusual colours kiss old fag face

what a nasty acronym you addressed to Geoffrey. you should be ashamed of yourself solongbastard (or whatever your name is today)

Karren, you are very kind. Thank you
