The hiiiiills are aliiiiive!!!!!

I watched The Sound of Music tonight with Michelle. She made me delicious chocolate fondant and lamb. I've discovered that there is no need to acquire any kind of culinary skills as long as you have talented, nice friends. Somewhere in between "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" and the Reverend Mother singing "Climb ev'ry mountain" something resonated. Reverend Mother recognised Maria wasn't cut out to be a nun and that there are many paths to choose. She encouraged Maria to at least try to find her right one. So brave Maria goes back to face Captain Von Trapp. I wouldn't have done it. He looks too much like Timothy Dalton and I would have gotten nervous and forgotten the words to "Doe, a deer a female feer" and forsaken his love forever. I see going to Macau as a path. Sure, it will be more of a winding canal, but even in a city of casinos I am curious as to the adventures which one can have. Hopefully more than an existence of rowing and having to explain to people that while prostitution is legal there I am not a provider of that service.

Time shall tell, but I do hope I can tackle the future with as much pizazz and humour as Julie Andrews who, along with Babs and Bette and Paul Capsis, is as close as I can come to believing in deities.
