I really thought this photo needed showing

Rolf Bartels of Germany, European gold in the shot put, shaking the hand of Joachim Olsen of Denmark, bronze, and telling him that he is too skinny and must really put on a little weight if he wants to be world class.
(P.S.: I made up that last bit. At least, I think I did.)

Well, I've friended you you anyway. First because you're literate, second because you sound charming, third because I liked your list of interests and e-name (who can dislike someone who names herself for Caligula's horse and lists the political structure of the republic of Venice among her current obsessions?), and fourth because I am curious to see how, with the views you seem to have, you can get along with some of the people of your f-list.

Thank you, and well done! You're the first person who has not had to ask where I got my screen name from. :)
