"...we're on the cusp..."

Mmmm... From Mr Gravelle's mouth, I don't know why, but do these words seem a little...meaningful?

Three things come to mind listening to Mr Gravelle...

First, "life is so fragile. Read my lips: LIFE IS SO FRAGILE. We get up after a so-so night, take a furtive look to the beautiful light of the morning sun, have a guilty tought about the many promises that are still waiting to be achieved (like this New Year wish we just made since ten years - or is it twenty?- to our best friend about this dream golf trip we'll finally 'make' this year, or these piles of CDs and photos we plan to file on the external hard-disk we bought a couple years ago...) and BANG, the phone call from the Clinic... "The tests we did last week show something and the Doctor wants to see you ASAP". Boy... Life is not only fragile, it is awfully short 'like the flash of a camera... (Gianmaria Testa)."

Second, Mr Gravelle's deep belief and firm commitment to the Ring of Fire development (look at Mr Gravelle's eyes when he talks) make me think that something very very big awaits us up there... So big that it will soon make Mr Doe asks himself "wow, where should I put my chips on if I want not to miss this boat?" And I think to myself, well... I already have a feet in the best equipped of them all... "You should have a look to Noront sir!" In fact I'm now so confident in the outcome of my investment in Noront that - as probably RCF also - that I can hear the gentle ticking of the time bomb... Which, sadly, muffles the distant roaring of Crazydick snoring! This brings me to my third point.

Third (in fact this is a vow), Vermillion will probably take a shorter nap than expected and bring back her spiritual - and essential - contribution to this board!

GLTA!
