I have fixed my comment now. I dreamed I was going to the bad place..lol. Not really but, I'm pretending now to have common sense and propriety, just for the record! James is definitely more of the 'Knight in Shining Armor' type. But; what is this I hear about you leading a double life lately? (smile)

Is this turning the old Irish blessing (or is it a toast?) on its ear? lol As beguiling as it is, makes me wonder... does the devil know you are there? In that situation I think he is the only one that counts.

Provocative, beguiling, affecting - and all in just fifteen syllables - amazing! S :)
