Interesting, and a bit strange (to me) that you should choose nineteen. Maybe a matinee and a cafeteria lunch? Hope springs eternal - enjoyed reading this. |

. easy, The reference is to an old Japanese poem: how long forever nineteen nineteen of white dancers Anonymous Nineteen was considered the height of a woman's beauty in Japan. I think here it was/is considered the height of a man's sexual drive. Thanks for reading John . |
